(REMINDER) 9th SOUND THE ALARM (MAY) MIDDAY PRAYER CALL & City Safety Patrols

PEACEMAKERS 9th Sound the Alarm  Midday Prayer Call  Wednesday 18th MAY 2022 via Google Meet Link below at 12Noon  https://meet.google.com/xbt-jkoo-rzb

We also need to let our voices be heard in local and national  newspapers, radio stations, television, YouTube,  and other Social Media. Let our disgust about these inhumane acts of violence be heard, loud and clear. “Enough is Enough.
