Ceasefire is a violence-reduction program that launched in Boston in the 1990s. In Oakland, it contributed to a decline in gun violence until the pandemic hit, and the program suffered as a result. The Ceasefire walks take place in neighborhoods most affected by gun violence. The walks help spread a message of peace where participants from all walks of life and different beliefs get together with signs to walk the neighborhoods and engage in conversation with residents.

Friday night walks are scheduled through December 15.
