Join the Texas Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence for our Gun Violence Prevention Advocacy Day at the Texas Capitol! Advocates, students, and survivors will come together to call on the Texas Legislature to reduce gun violence and make our communities safer. We will be bringing every single t-shirt memorial made by our gun violence prevention campaign, Vidas Robadas, highlighting the human cost of inaction.
The event will include:
- Marching from First United Methodist Church to the South Steps of the Capitol
- A rally at the South Steps
- Meetings with legislators
Free buses are available from Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Uvalde. Sign up to save your seat!
