Organizers of the upcoming Love Peoria Peace Rally hope it sparks bonding and new understanding among people living in the river city as a response to recent violence.
Kindall Nelson is the organizer for Peoria Music Live.
“Everybody says, nobody has the answer, and I know that there is an answer, and that love is the answer. And that’s what this is about. That’s why we used the hash tag Love Peoria,” says Nelson.
Love Peoria is a free event scheduled for June 23 at the Neighborhood House, 1020 South Matthew Street, from 2 to 8 p.m. It will feature music, games, food, and hopefully, new friends.
Nelson says she is seeking volunteers and donations for the event. Visit Peoria Music Live for more information.
