During the month of June, several organizations are hosting events to prevent gun violence.
Stop the Violence 757 held a “Bike Ride to End Gun Violence” Saturday morning in Norfolk. This marks the second ride of the month, following a bike ride last weekend in Portsmouth.
“The movement is to help end gun violence and help keep the city safe,” said DJ Bee, the owner of Freshtopia. “It warms my heart that people out here in the 757 care.”
A large group of supporters are riding in solidarity with Monica Aktins, the Stop the Violence 757 Executive Director. Atkins created this nonprofit to nearly a decade ago to honor her late son.
