The Harrisburg community cried out to local lawmakers on Friday, looking for quicker action in what they say is a never-ending battle against gun violence.
Tone Cook, the organizer of the march, led a group of activists through the streets of Harrisburg as they chanted out, calling for change. The Harrisburg community cried out to local lawmakers on Friday, asking them to take quicker action in what they say is a never-ending battle against gun violence.
“Sacrifices need to be made. If it takes walking 300 miles if you could save a child’s life, then I will walk 300 miles and carry a child on my back to save his life," said Tone Cook, the organizer of the march. One month following the tragic shooting that killed 16-year-old boy Torray Eden, his family has joined the effort.
“My brother Mike Cook lost his life by a gunshot wound from a friend of his, just like the young brother Torray," said Cook. “And that just gave me a spark, especially with the stuff that has been going on in our communities.”
