Since the beginning of 2008, too many young African American men, mostly teenagers from our neighborhoods, have died due to violence. March For Youth is happening because we are weary of hearing about young people being killed in our neighborhoods. The March provides us with an opportunity for coming together to stand, and march in remembrance and asking for a future, to protest the violence, and hear from our communities. Remembering those we’ve lost and asking for the attention our youth need. All people are urged to participate. These are all OUR children! The march will move from both ends of Rainier Valley with starting points at Rainier Beach High School and Franklin High School. Starting at 1:00pm the two groups will set off to meet each other, coming together for a rally at Aki Kurose Middle School and Brighton Park between Rainier and MLK Jr Way S, on S Graham Street.
