We will begin that evening with a march for peace to end gun violence. At dark we will walk around POK neighborhoods with names and pictures of gun violence victims and candles as we begin our silent vigil.
Continuing on Saturday, May 21st, we need Moms Demand Action Volunteers, some of whom will share their pain and grief of gun violence. Saturday’s event will officially begin at 1:00pm and end at 5:00pm, officially marking 24hrs of INCREASING THE PEACE.
If you can’t be there Friday and Saturday, please make Saturday’s event your priority. Please wear your red shirts.
