Join an Inspiring New Faith-Based Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence

on January 17, 2009 and be part of the power of faith in action!

WHAT, WHEN, WHERE:

9:00 AM Programs for adults, youth and children. Prayer, workshops, presentations, dialogue, art and more! Multiple houses of worship in the Philadelphia area. Click here to reserve a seat and a lunch (free of charge) at one of 10 locations in the Philadelphia area.

1:30 PM Interfaith worship service. Featuring Dr. Vincent Harding, the service will include several local clergy, youth performance, and a praise & worship team leading us in song and prayer. Holy Ghost Church (The Met) at Broad & Poplar in Philadelphia. THIS EVENT DOES NOT REQUIRE PRE-REGISTRATION.

2:45 PM March and rally in front of a local gun store.

Together we’ll call for retailers of firearms to adopt a sensible Code of Conduct to dramatically reduce the illegal trafficking of handguns. This is the same code that has been adopted by Wal-Mart, America’s top gun seller.

We’ve Got Work To Do!
