VALENTINE’S DAY MARCH FOR CHANGE

WHEN: Thursday, February 14, 2013
11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

WHERE: Hartford State Capitol
North Steps, overlooking Bushnell Park

Several elected officials, including Governor Danell Malloy, Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman, Attorney General George Jepsen, Senate President Donald Williams, Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr. and Mayor Bill Finch, Bridgeport, will participate in the March for Change on Thursday, February 14th at the North Steps of the State Capitol Building in Hartford at 11:00am to affirm their support of safer, rational, common sense legislative changes in the current gun laws in the State of Connecticut.

Participants will also include two individuals from urban communities who have experienced gun violence first-hand, as well as families of the victims from Sandy Hook Elementary School.  Colin Goddard, who survived the massacre at Virginia Tech and currently works at the Brady Campaign and Stephen Barton, a survivor of the Aurora, CO massacre and employee of Mayors Against Illegal Guns will also speak at the February 14th rally.  Two members of clergy, symbols of the peaceful and respectful tone and tenor of the rally, will offer inspiration words to the assembled crowd, expected to exceed 2500 people. Marina Belica, the lead singer of October Project, will sing her beautiful and haunting “Return to Me” as a personal tribute.

This event is produced by March for Change, a program of CT Against Gun Violence, to give advocates an opportunity to coalesce and present a unified voice in the bi-partisan effort to make legislative change in Connecticut’s gun laws.
