(CHESTER, PA) – On Saturday, June 11, 2016, from 11am to 1pm, Mayor Thaddeus Kirkland and several local faith-based leaders from the City of Chester and surrounding areas will hold a, “100 Men, Women & Children March.”
This march was organized in effort to promote unity and peace within the City of Chester. As part of a newly-established partnership between Mayor Thaddeus Kirkland and local-faith based leaders, this initiative will serve as the first of three yearly marches that will be held throughout the city in areas that are considered to be “high-crime” territories.
The march will begin in the parking lot of Grace Church of God in Christ, located on 22nd and Edgmont Streets in Chester.
March participants will be divided into four groups and directed to walk strategic routes throughout 22nd & Edgmont Streets as a “unified front.”

We want our parks back for our kids. Sunvillage park on East
9th paliski park.
The Sisters of St. Francis and Anna’s Place neighbors will be there to join others in letting our neighbors know that we care about them and join them in creating a safe environment. Only if we work together will Mayor Kirkland’s Transition Plan: “Building a Better Chester” happen.
The approximate number of 250 men women and children, attending the March for Unity to build a better Chester was the closest experience to “church” as I think God of many names, envisions ……….people of different faiths or non faiths, people of different races and cultures, singing while they walk together, praying while they walk together, sharing their dream for a better Chester while they walk together. Yes, we’ll
continue to “walk hand in hand” as we, as a community, to “Build a Better Chester “.
I’m glad y’all represented.
