Just One Hour for Gun Violence Prevention!

Heart

Mother's Day Rally
May 14, 11:30 - 12:30
Hyannis Rotary, Airport Road

Grandmothers Against Gun Violence Cape Cod will Rally in Hyannis on the 14th at 11:30.

We rally to honor all mothers who work in the gun violence prevention movement, mothers who are survivors of gun violence, and mothers we have lost to gun violence.

We know it is Mother's Day but stop by for just a bit if you can. This date is set in stone as it is the date of the Sandy Hook shooting and we have always honored that date of the month.

The Rally at the Rotary began as a vigil for the children killed at Sandy Hook in 2012. It has continued every year since then, once a month on the anniversary day, the 14th from 11:30 to 12:30, as a memorial to them and a reminder to each and every one of us, and to every person that passes us there, that the fight against gun violence is far from over. Massachusetts stands as one of the highest ranked states in the nation for common sense gun legislation and we are safer for it.

But there are other reasons we rally there and there is more work to be done. The rally:

  • Highlights Freedom of Speech and Assembly
    When we assemble at the rotary, it reminds people that they live in a society where they can assemble and speak freely.
  • Encourages People
    Our presence encourages people to stand up and speak out for what they believe. We encourage positive change and action.
  • Raises the Issue
    Many folks are too busy with their lives and families to follow the issue the way we do, so we serve as a reminder to them to vote for common sense gun candidates.
  • Starts a conversation
    Often our rally starts a conversation with others who may not be thinking about the topic. People who see us there often come to our meetings.
  • Sends a message
    Our Rally sends a message to our politicians and elected officials as well as to people who would oppose common sense gun legislation. We will be there until the public health issue of gun violence is properly addressed.
