[Passaic Valley Today] Their reasons for walking were varied: they opposed violence at home, violence abroad, and supported a greater need for unity in the community.
The group of 50 area residents walked down Main Street Friday evening holding up peace signs and listening to residents tooting their horns in support of the cause.
Deacon Deborah Rucki Drake, of St. Agnes Episcopal Church in Little Falls, a principal organizer of the event, said this was a pastoral approach of dealing with violent events of the summer.
"We hear a lot about violence, but we want to show there is plenty of peace and unity," she said.
