The mothers participating in the walk are bonded together after losing their loved ones to gun violence.
Members of Mothers United Against Violence walk along Albany Avenue during the march.
"It's a club that we don't want anybody to join and sadly, so many mothers and fathers are joining the club," said Williams.
The group marched side by side throughout the North End neighborhood in Hartford with Congressman John Larson. Each stop along the way highlighted an area where a victim was gunned down.
"This is by sheer will that we are existing through this entire epidemic, pandemic and all of the gun violence, all of the violence that takes place in our community," said Deborah Davis, an organizer with Mothers Untied Against Violence who also lost her son 12 years ago. "I know what it's like to use a child and how it feels without the resources or the support so that's why I show up every day."
