CeaseFire Marches In Hopes Of Continued Funding

CHICAGO (CBS) ― Mothers, children and police marched through Englewood Friday evening in a rally to keep an anti-violence program going strong.

CeaseFire marched through the neighborhood at 104th Place and Morgan Street. The group wants to make sure the state continues to help with funding the organization, but leaders say community involvement is really the key to helping stop the violence.

"I just wanna say to the young people, we can march we older ones, but you are the ones that have to stop it, you are the ones that have to talk to your friends," said Englewood resident Gwendolyn Hogan-Baxter.

Last week alone, there were two shootings on that block; one ended in murder.
