After a string of violent incidents on S. 60th Street, including deadly shootings and last month’s attack on a police officer, community members are asked to come together this Saturday “to reclaim their community” at an anti-violence rally. The assembly for the rally will begin at noon at Masjid Mujahideen Islamic center at 413 S. 60th Street.

The latest fatal shooting in the area was reported on January 31 when a 21-year-old man was shot multiple times while sitting in a parked car near 60th and Pine Streets.

Following the rally, residents and guests are invited to a health fair where they can get free important health screenings, including blood pressure, blood sugar, and oral hygiene. The health fair will be held until 2 p.m. at the Masjid.
