Faith In Brooklyn for April 30
Walk-a-Thon Across Brooklyn Bridge Gave Youths Chance to Denounce Abuse, Violence
Pedestrians and cyclists on the Brooklyn Bridge last Saturday morning heard chants of “Hitting Is Not Love” and “No Excuse for Abuse!” The voices were coming from participants in the fourth annual NYC Teen Dating Violence Awareness Walk-a-thon.
The youths, representing several schools around Brooklyn, wanted the world to know that physical violence and abuse of any kind, particularly unwanted sexual contact, is unacceptable.
