Local group holds candlelight vigil for peace on MLK day
Peace Action Bay Ridge Interfaith Peace Coalition honored the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, January 18 by “committing to light the dream” at its annual evening candlelight vigil.
This year’s vigil — hosted at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church (7420 Fourth Avenue) — had a special focus on curbing gun violence across the country.
Peace Action works locally on peace initiatives, according to its website, and brings the community’s views to the attention of the public and local elected officials.
