Please join us standing with our city officials and community in a walk of solidarity and peace.

We will be gathering rain or shine, feel free to bring an umbrella if there is a chance of changes in weather.

The Peace Rally will begin at the Belvidere Community Building, 111 W 1st Street. Members of our community will walk side by side with city officials to State Street bridge and route back to the Community Building.

There will be special guest speakers to address unity, solidarity, and reasons why our members feel that this is a necessary time for all our voices to heard.
