Nationwide Vigils to #EndGunViolence
December 14, 2024 is the 12-year mark of the Sandy Hook tragedy.
By this December, over 1.2 million Americans will be killed or wounded by guns since the Sandy Hook shooting tragedy. We urge you to join the gun violence prevention community in our collective effort to continue to shine a light on the devastating epidemic of gun violence in our nation until Congress takes meaningful action to reduce gun deaths and injuries in our nation
REGISTER YOUR LOCAL VIGILS & EVENTS TO #EndGunViolence
The victims, survivors, and communities impacted by gun violence are easily forgotten. Therefore, the Newtown Action Alliance Foundation, the charitable arm of the Newtown Action Alliance, in partnership with hundreds of allies in the gun violence prevention movement, will host the annual NATIONAL VIGIL FOR ALL VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE. Our annual national vigil service of mourning and loving remembrance for all who have fallen victim to the ongoing epidemic of gun violence in America will be held on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at St Marks Episcopal Church on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. The National Vigil will anchor the nationwide vigils/events in local communities throughout the nation during the month of December.
Please register to host a local vigil or an event in your town or city. Faith resources for planning and hosting a local vigil can be found HERE to facilitate your planning and to coordinate our collective message to #HonorWithAction to #EndGunViolence.
