Anti-gun violence unity walk set for Saturday in Memphis

Gun related crimes increased 8.3% in Shelby County from 2020 to 2021.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — There will be an anti-gun unity walk Saturday in Memphis.

This is the eighth community walk since November 2020 in the Medical Center.

The walk will begin at the Mitchell Community Center Saturday morning.

Family members of homicide victims will start the walk off.

One gun violence advocate spoke about what he believes is causing the youth to pick up guns.

"Most of the people out there doing the killing, they don't even have a high school education," said Freedom from Unnecessary Negatives founder Stevie Moore. "So, let's get in this fight together. We've got to get together and stop being so divided."

If you attend, you're encouraged to introduce yourself to them for support.
