🕯️ Honoring a Legend: Elder Louis March 🕯️

This Black History Month, TO Wards Peace, remembers Elder Louis March, a tireless advocate for peace and community safety who left us too soon in July 2024.

Louis March's Legacy:
- Founder of the Zero Gun Violence Movement
- Over 30 years of dedicated community service
- Passionate advocate for youth engagement and mentorship
- Collaborated with 40+ organizations to address gun violence

March's vision of zero gun violence inspires our work at TO Wards Peace. As we celebrate Black History Month, we commit to carrying forward his mission of building safer, more inclusive communities for all Torontonians.

Elder Louis March embodied the spirit of community leadership and tireless advocacy. His legacy reminds us that change is possible when we work together with passion and dedication.
