Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence Dec. 11, State Capitol

From Nebraskans for Peace:

Join a Vigil to Honor All Victims of Gun Violence on Friday, December 11, at 5 p.m. The event will begin at the Nebraska State Capitol Building and then proceed to First Christian Church.

Interchurch Ministries of Nebraska and Nebraskans Against Gun Violence will sponsor a vigil to honor all victims of gun violence. The vigil will begin on the west side of the Capitol Building and will then move across the street to First Christian Church for a prayer service, where the featured speaker will be the Rev. Karla Cooper, pastor of Quinn Chapel AME. This vigil is part of a nationwide observance of the 30,000+ lives lost to gun violence each year on the cusp of the three-year anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary.

Nebraskans Against Gun Violence will also be organizing a shoe drive as part of a public art display. The shoes will be donated to Heart Ministry Center in Omaha.
