KANSAS CITY, Missouri - They march for peace where so often violence rules. So, a group of Kansas City pastors, preachers and people fed up with shootings launched a new campaign Friday night.

It’s called “Give me your guns and bullets and I will give you a bible.”

At 34th and Olive, bullet holes riddle a stop sign. They decorate a parked car. Police chalk remains on sidewalks. There’s also “rest in peace” graffiti on buildings.

All of t compelled the Peoples’ Movement to hold hands and pray with Rev. Ralph Gordon Wright. He is on a mission to lead change in the neighborhood.

Watch the clip above to see how.
