March and Rally Against Gun Violence 1.13.13

RantWoman lost patience about putting in some visuals and decided to spend time labelling some urls instead. The event website does nicely in the visual area and the event has a Twitter feed and a Facebook page!


Please join The Church Council of Greater Seattle and Washington CeaseFire, as well as other civic, religious and education leaders, for a *march and rally on Sunday, January 13, 2013*.

On the eve of the next legislative session, let us join together to call for laws that will lessen the possibility of tragedies like the one that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Not only does this event spur us to action, but also the effect that gun violence, leading to countless individual murders, suicides, and accidental deaths, has on the fabric of our communities each day. The rally, called *StandUp Washington*, will include speakers, music and remembrance for those lost, as well as a strong message that gun violence can, and must, be responsibly curtailed.

The event will begin at *1:30 p.m.* on *Sunday, January 13*, 2013 at *Westlake Park*. We will march to the *Seattle Center Mural Ampitheater,* where the rally will be held.
