Nationwide Vigils & Events to #EndGunViolence

December 14, 2023 is the 11-year mark of the Sandy Hook tragedy. 

By this December, over 1.1 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 6, 2023 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.

OUR MISSION

To support all families and communities that have been impacted by gun violence, unite the gun violence prevention movement, educate, raise awareness, and keep this critical public health issue front and center in our nation.

OUR GOAL

To hold the most successful Nationwide Vigils/Events to #EndGunViolence in every Congressional district in all 50 states this December on or near the 10th-year mark of the Sandy Hook tragedy —- by working and coordinating with our allies, partners, community leaders, faith leaders, advocates, and survivors.

Together, we will honor all Americans impacted by gun violence and stand united in our shared goal of ending the gun violence public health crisis in our nation.
