BRAVE shared the floor with several powerful partners in the coalition to share how important the RIFL Act is for Illinoisans.

Let’s get it done Illinois!

BRAVE’s Tre Bosley and Father Michael Pfleger of The Faith Community of Saint Sabina had the awesome opportunity to speak at the 10th annual Vigil Against Violence yesterday afternoon Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church. We are so proud of Tre as his speech moved the crowd to actively “write their story” and not let others do it for themselves.
