Stop the Violence Rally

The 6th annual “Stop the Violence” rally is coming up soon. Clarke county’s Tracy Dear is hoping that this event will shed light on why the violence in Meridian and surrounding areas must stop.

“I want the violence to stop. I want people to stop taking others' lives. Let’s come together and be one in this state. We all in this world together. All this killing is nonsense. You just don’t know how much pain you put on parents by taking their child from them, that's a lot. I don’t care what the situation is, you shouldn't, take nobody's life. Stop killing each other. Stop killing us. Stop.

The rally is in honor of O’ Byrant dear who was killed in 2016 and will be held in Quitman,
