ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The ROC Against Gun Violence Coalition hosted an event Saturday night at the Prayer House of God by Faith Church, featuring a screening of the Academy Award-nominated short film “Death by Numbers.”
The film highlights the impact of gun violence and the urgent need for community-driven solutions. Councilmember Willie Lightfoot Sr., chairman of the coalition, emphasized the importance of the event.

We’re hoping we can recruit people to be a part of the coalition and that we can continue to work to figure out solutions of ending gun violence.”…
