Please join the Greenwich Council Against Gun Violence at the Greenwich Rally to Support the Sandy Hook Ride on Washington at Town Hall to honor victims of gun violence and
call attention to the need for federal gun safety legislation.
Last March Team 26 rode 400 miles from Sandy Hook to Washington, D.C. in memory of the 26 children and educators who were killed with an assault rifle at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Because Washington has taken no legislative action since the massacre, Team 26 is riding a second time. The Greenwich Council has formed its own Team Greenwich to ride alongside Team 26 from Ridgefield to Greenwich, demonstrating that the “Connecticut effect” is alive and well in Greenwich.
Scheduled speakers include Senator Richard Blumenthal, Congressman Jim Himes, CT Attorney General George Jepsen, Greenwich First Selectman Peter Tesei and Selectman Drew Marzullo, joined by faith and community leaders.
Also present at the rally will be Ron Pinciaro, executive director of CT Against Gun Violence, who told us "Legislators keep hearing from gun-rights activists. It's vitally important they see more of us than of the vocal and well-funded NRA supporters who oppose sensible gun safety reform."
In the case of inclement weather, the rally will be held inside Town Hall in the Town Hall Meeting Room.
