Some 100 people gathered Monday night to march against gun violence from the Western Addition to Page and Laguna streets — the corner where four men were shot dead over the weekend while sitting in a car.
District 5 Supervisor London Breed, community activist Mattie Scott, and the Rev. Amos Brown of Third Baptist Church of San Francisco led the evening's prayer vigil and march from the African American Cultural Center to Hayes Valley.
“Our kids are dying,” said Breed, who grew up in the neighborhood she now represents. “I don’t even know if there’s a day that goes by that I’m not thinking about somebody we have lost in this community, when I see a mother who I know has lost her child.”
