Gun violence prevention advocates come together on National Gun Violence Awareness Day

Posted

Gun violence prevention advocates gathered for an afternoon and evening of music on Saturday for National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

The event is from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the YWCA near St. Mary's and Grande at 525 N. Bonita Ave.

Organizers say the day is a chance for the community to reflect on gun violence and people injured or killed in shootings.

The group recognized the political nature of the issue and held a voter registration drive.
