NATIONAL VIGIL FOR ALL VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE – DEC. 14, 2014
RESERVE YOUR SEAT AT THE 4th ANNUAL NATIONAL VIGIL FOR ALL VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2016 AT 7PM ST MARKS EPISCOPAL CHURCH, CAPITOL HILL, WASHINGTON D.C.
By December 14, 2016, the 4th anniversary of the tragic Newtown shooting, an estimated 120,000 Americans will have died from guns and another 300,000 more Americans will have been injured by guns. It’s a heartbreaking toll that affects all of our communities.
When the news vehicles depart, the victims, survivors and the families impacted by gun violence are often forgotten. Therefore, the Newtown Foundation together with Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence, States United to Prevent Gun Violence, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and Organizing for Action will bring families of victims and survivors of gun violence from Newtown and from around the nation---from urban, rural and suburban communities---to the 4th Annual National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence for a service of mourning and loving remembrance at the St Marks Episcopal Church on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. on December 14th at 7:00pm.
The 4th Annual National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence in D.C. will lead the nationwide local vigils and events across the nation to shed a light on the epidemic of gun violence plaguing our communities.
Reserve your seats here.
The Newtown Foundation (Newtown Action Alliance's 501c3) will be joined by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence, Organizing for Action and States United to Prevent Gun Violence to sponsor the 4th Annual National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence on Wednesday, December 14, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Marks Episcopal Church on Capitol Hill.

The National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence held in Washington D.C. on December 14th will be the anchor event to kickoff the Nationwide 50-State Vigils/Events. We are looking for faith organizations and/or gun violence prevention groups to hold a local vigil or event in each of the 50 states from December 14-18th to continue to raise awareness and to keep this issue front and center. Last year, more than 500 local events were held in 39 states, Washington DC and in Mexico.
