With Natalie Manning – I just made it onto their weekly engagement list by being one of their top engagers! 🎉

As part of Day 1 of the National Gun Violence Prevention Expo, we will hold space for a vigil in observance of the National Day of Remembrance for Homicide Victims. 🕯️

This meaningful gathering will honor the lives lost to violence, uplift the families and communities forever impacted, and provide a space for reflection, healing, and solidarity.

Together, we remember. Together, we honor. Together, we recommit to building safer futures for all.
