Clergy members march across the Brooklyn Bridge calling for an end to gun violence. AClineThomas has more on their message:
The group started in Cadman Plaza and crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. CBS2's Aundrea Cline-Thomas was outside City Hall, where the group was joined by Mayor Eric Adams and other city and community leaders for a rally.
It was the second year in a row that dozens of clergy and community members gathered at Cadman Plaza and marched over the Brooklyn Bridge. They called for an end to gun violence all across the country, but specifically in New York City's underserved communities. "We are too often united about what divides us. We are too often united over what's broken, and we need to be united over what's good," Pastor Zac Martin, with Recovery House of Worship, said."What's good in our communities is our faith communities who believe in peace."
