Activists will walk through the North End to remember people killed in gun violence

Activists will take to the streets of Springfield, Massachusetts this weekend for a walk against violence.

Greater Springfield Campaign Nonviolence will hold the event Sunday in the city’s North End.

The walk starts at 2:30 p.m. at Blessed Sacrament Church on Waverly Street and will end with a rally there.

Rev. Lauren Holm, pastor of Bethesda Lutheran Church is the chair of the campaign. She spoke with WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
