Organized by Chastity Acosta, the group was created after her cousin Samantha Irizarry was a victim of a domestic violence attack leaving her in critical condition.
Activists marched down Audrey Zapp Drive out of Liberty State Park across the Morris Canal Basin before stopping to pray for Irizarry at Jersey City Medical Center. A police escort protected the group from traffic throughout their march.
“We are an army of soldiers right and every day fighting for her. Continue being with us, Lord, as we march for Sam,” Acosta declared to a circle of bowed heads.
