Indianapolis 5K Peace Walk at Washington Park...
National Medical Association Launches National 5K Peace Walk to Promote Safety, Healing, and Community Connection
Multi-city public health initiative invited communities to walk in solidarity with youth and families affected by violence.
The National Medical Association (NMA), through its Violence Prevention Council chaired by Dr. Michael McGee, launched a major national public health initiative with local NMA societies across the country to help communities’ advance safety, healing, and prevention.
Community members were invited to participate in the National 5K Peace Walk, a gathering that honors teens and families affected by violence while promoting a public health approach to youth peace and community well-being.
Locally hosted by Dr. Virginia Caine and the Marion County Public Health Department, the Indianapolis walk brought together neighbors, health professionals, youth advocates, and community organizations committed to prevention, support, and shared action.
Thank you all for braving the rain and showing up today!!!
