Don’t Forget Newtown Dec. 14

On Saturday, December 14, Moms will gather at over 50 events in
more than 35 states to honor the victims of the tragedy in Newtown and the
thousands of Americans lost to gun violence every year. All events will include
a communal bell-ringing to remember the victims and to show our resolve to
never again be silent about gun violence. These events are co-sponsored by
Mayors Against Illegal Guns. 



Our local sponsors, with whom we share a common goal of gun
violence prevention, include Rhode
Island Coalition Against Gun Violence, First Unitarian Church of Providence’s
Standing on the Side of Love Committee and Rhode Island State Council of
Churches.  Adding to the bell ringing theme will be a performance by Gordon
School's Handbell Ensemble performing, "This Little Light of Mine."  At 9:35 AM, bells will ring
loudly for one minute in Providence, Barrington,
Kingston, Portsmouth, North Scituate, Middletown, Central Falls,
Cranston, Newport, Bristol, Block Island, and Alton, honoring the first anniversary of the Sandy Hook tragedy with a
promise to continue making noise on gun reform until change comes.
