While the rest of us are out here talking about a change needs to be made in our communities, an ‘Army of Moms’ is doing something about it. They are taking their lives and circumstances into their own hands and hoping to build a better community for their children.

Mothers Against Senseless Killings is the organization and movement behind the moms. They dawned pink shirts and sat in folding chairs at the corner of 75th Street and Harvard Avenue on Chicago’s south side. Their aim is to prevent a violent retaliation to the death of Lucille Barnes a week earlier.

“People are very emotional about it, and we don’t know what’s going to happen,” said Tamar Manasseh. “If people say there will be violence, there likely will be violence, and you go where you’re called.”

According to police, a man walked by Barnes and two other women at 11:35 p.

m. on June 23 in the 7500 block of Stewart Avenue and opened fire, fatally wounding 34-year-old Barnes.

“If you’re trying to shoot someone and we’re out here, you’re not getting off the block,” said Manasseh, who grew up on the northern edge of Englewood at Garfield Boulevard and Bishop Street.

The group plans to plant itself on the corner for four hours, beginning at from 4 p.m., and return every day until Labor Day.

When the next shooting happens and there’s chatter of retaliation, the “army of mothers” as Manasseh calls them, will move and make sure the neighborhood knows that moms are watching.

Keep these moms in your thoughts and prays as they move from talk to action in the effort to make our neighborhoods safer for all of our children.

SOUND OFF: What do you think of these heroic moms taking action instead of talk?
