What does the rainbow flag have to do with gun violence, particularly in this neighborhood?

  1. It could be a Pace/Peace flag: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_flag
  2. It could be acknowledging violence targeting LBGTQ people: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/06/16/us/hate-crimes-against-lg...

The two rainbow flags differ slightly. Given the context, I'd put good coin on it being a peace flag.

Google the phrase "virtue signalling" for your answer

You should look this link up via google.

Unless you have walked the walk (literally) keep your snark to yourself. Some people genuinely believe peace is for everyone. Especially when violence affects everyone, some groups more than others.

Mark down Mothers Day on your calendar next year for a very inspirational and effective march. The Louis D. Brown Institute is profoundly transforming lives through restorative justice action and not just words. Smaller group today in the rain but mighty and powerful experience. As for the flag: why does it matter? ["in this neighborhood" speaks volumes: think about it]....FWIW it was a peace flag which added a lot of color to a gray backdrop.

How many people have been shot/stabbed/murdered in Boston in the week since the high profile case of the two doctors who did not make headlines? One is too many.

The woman that started this was on Jim Braude. Extraordinarily inspiring woman.

This is a great event, rain or shine!

Thank you Ms. Chery.
