Participants in the Justice for Juveniles Peace Walk gather in front of the mural at Firetree Place in Williamsport on Saturday.

Williamsport, Pa. — About 50 people walked a mile through Williamsport Saturday as part of the Justice for Juveniles Peace Walk, an event organized to show the city's young people they are supported by their community.

Daliesha Walker, a Williamsport resident and community organizer, planned the walk and promoted it on Facebook, writing that the event was meant to "show our children that they are seen, heard, loved, and supported by their community" and that "every step we take is a reminder that their lives matter and that they are not alone."
