Lincoln Park rally, Milwaukee community unites for change

MILWAUKEE - Dozens of people gathered at Milwaukee's Lincoln Park for a Unity March & Rally on Saturday afternoon, July 9.

The event brought together churches, resources groups and others who hope to lift up members of their community – especially its young people.

"Talking unity, talking about making our city better, and addressing some of the things that affect our young people, said Victor Barnett, co-founder of Running Rebels. "I think it was special, being able to bring people in front of them that can inspire them."
