SALT LAKE CITY — A “March to End Child Abuse” is set take place Saturday.

The event will begin at 8 a.m. at the Salt Lake City-County Building, 451 S. State, and will feature keynote speeches and musical numbers at 9 a.m. before participants begin a 1.1-mile trek to the state Capitol, where there will be more speeches and musical numbers.

The march is being sponsored by several organizations, including Protect Every Child, which was founded by Sam Young, whose 23-day hunger strike punctuated his protest of one-on-one bishop’s interviews with children in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Young was excommunicated for apostasy last year.

According to organizers, the event will be livestreamed from the Protect Every Child facebook page.
