Neighborhood Peace Walk Friday Oct 17

The walk is in memory of Richard Duran, a 22-year-old who was murdered in the MTA bus depot at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge on July 12, 2008. The flyers say that everyone will gather at 7:30 in Valley Forge Park (the park with the George Washington statue on S 4th, near the end of the bridge pedestrian pathway and across the street from El Puente, then walk to the 90th precinct to ask for a stronger police presence to combat teen violence.

For more on the murder of Richard Duran, check this blog.

(I assume El Puente is putting this together, but the flyers I saw didn't mention them, and it's not on their website.)
