It’s
been a tragic summer of gun violence and hate. Enough! It’s time to
make sure our national leaders hear our demands for change as they look
forward to the November elections.
Americans
from across the country—including national leaders, parents, activists,
and award-winning celebrities—will lift our voices together at the
National Mall in Washington, D.C. on August 13th to #DisarmHate because gun violence in all its forms, including racism and violence against the LGBTQ+ community, must end.
It’s time to stand together and say, “Enough is enough!”
Join MomsRising at the Disarm Hate Rally in Washington, D.C. on August 13th! Make sure to RSVP here: http://action.
MomsRising
is a co-host of this high-impact event. Join us, along with the LGBTQ+
community, allies, advocates, celebrities, religious leaders, and
families from around the country as we gather on the National Mall to
call for equality, justice, and commonsense gun laws.
We
want YOU (along with your kids, family, friends, and neighbors) to be
there! Let’s take our anger, frustration, and sadness and demand real change.
Here are some details:
Who: Moms,
dads, kids, advocates, celebrities, the LGBTQ+ community and
allies—basically anyone who cares about equality and commonsense gun
laws!
What: Disarm Hate Rally
When: Saturday, August 13th, 11am to 4pm
Where: West
Potomac Park, Washington, D.C. (located between Independence Ave, SW
and Ohio Dr., SW, near the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. Closest
metro stops are Smithsonian and Arlington Cemetery Metro Stations).
We
have been plagued by violence in our communities and inaction by the
U.S. Congress, so we need to raise our voice loudly as one and say,
“Enough is enough!” Once you RSVP, please forward this email to your
friends and family and encourage them to join us. You can also link to
it on Facebook and Twitter.
We can’t wait to see you on the National Mall!
P.S.
While we very much hope you will be able to join us at the rally,
MomsRising will not be able to help with expenses. If you live outside
the DC area, some communities are organizing buses and vans to bring
families to the rally, so please email Elyssa@momsrising.org if you are interested in this transportation information.
