CHICAGO (WLS) -- Hundreds of runners and walkers from around Chicago are coming together Saturday to fight back against the epidemic of gun violence.
Grant Park will play host for this year's Race Against Gun Violence which steps off at 10 a.m.
Now in its 10th year, the run comes as Chicago marks Wear Orange Weekend and hopes to highlight the need for change.
The effort is the brainchild of the group Strides for Peace. The group's purpose is to celebrate the life-changing work of community organizations and people invested in ending gun violence.

I will take Over on the shot(35) and go even money on the killed at 8. Is there anything we can do to help get these numbers higher, like in the hundreds?
The big city liberal types always have “events” to “fight” “gun violence”—and “gun violence” always wins.
They never learn.
Wonderhow many people will be shot there??
fight gun violence, yet most if not all will be unarmed...
I would bet on a couple of “incidents” at the after party ..
...just saying ..
Was the group fired upon?
So, is their solution gong after their own ferals or is it once again going after normal people’s 2nd amendment rights??
Ah, yes, all the soy boys get together to show their solidarity — and total unwillingness to actually do anything.
Mebbe if there were no cameras they’d not bother coming out to preen for the crowd.
Y’all allowed another piece of commie trash to get in charge — AND THOUGHT THAT WOULD WORK THIS TIME??!
I’m sure all that walking and running will stem gun violence in Chicago.
According to Hey Jackass:
Year To Date
Shot & Killed: 232
Shot & Wounded: 917
Total Shot: 1149
Total Homicides: 252
Total Homicides for 2022: 260
They’d better step up that walking and running - they’re about to surpass last year’s entire homicide number, most likely over this coming weekend.
IT AIN’T GUN VIOLENCE!
And the "Race" that's doing nearly all of the gun violence????? ..... Just wondering.
Do they have security?
A race? Therein lies a clue to the problem.
Crips….bloods. Bang zoom.
You’d think they’d have wiped each other out by now

Well played sir!
Ten years of running events for “change” have done nothing except increase the murder rate thus rinse and repeat to feel good. what idiocy. break the drug gangs who sponsor the runs.
Is that a rhetorical question? /s
What are the odds of the criminals showing up to run in this event?
