Community Vigil to End Gun Violence
Sunday, January 8 at 3:30 p.m.
Unitarian Universalist Society
20 Forest Street at Bedford Street, Stamford
On the first anniversary of the mass shootings in Tucson, the Interfaith Council and CT Against Gun Violence join with area police, elected officials, victims of gun violence and clergy to imagine a safer, more peaceful community where conflicts are resolved without guns - and guns are kept out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.
Speakers include (list in formation):
State Rep William Tong, Stamford
Lieutenant Chris Baker, Stamford Police Dept.
Jack Bryant, President, Stamford NAACP
Carlos Rodriguez, uncle of CT's first gun homicide victim in 2011, William Vargas
All are invited to gather at Old Town Hall,
175 Atlantic Street at 3 to march up Atlantic and Bedford Streets to the Unitarian Church.
the Vigil will begin there at 3:30, and end with a candlelight prayer outside.
