THE NEWTOWN FOUNDATION GUIDE TO HOLDING A LOCAL VIGIL
Holding a vigil is a powerful way to make a statement and educate your community. A vigil can help focus on the growing tragedy of gun violence in America. 30,000 people per year fall victim to gun violence in this country. One of the ways that you can participate in bringing this issue to people’s attention is to hold a vigil in your community. Download the local Vigil ToolKit here.
