The 10 year anniversary of the Million Mom March was celebrated at the Brady Center's Gala at the National Museum for Women in the Arts on May 18, 2010. Legendary journalist Helen Thomas was also honored at this very special event.

It was an inspirational evening where Jim and Sarah Brady, along with other gun violence victims, activists and donors came together to celebrate the Brady Center and our amazing Million Mom March and Brady Campaign volunteers.

Chapters Nationwide Urge Starbucks to Prohibit Guns


On April 18, 2010 -- two days after the third anniversary of the Virginia Tech shooting tragedy, and two days before the 11th anniversary of the Columbine High School shootings -- our Greater Denver Million Mom Chapter demonstrated outside of Starbucks in downtown Denver.  Activists, including family members of victims of both Virginia Tech and Columbine shootings, called on Starbucks to reverse their decision to allow radical "open carry" advocates to meet inside their stores wearing loaded firearms.

Similarly, on April 16, 2010, both families of Virginia Tech victims and concerned citizens protested a Starbucks store in Blacksburg, Virginia, home of Virginia Tech University.

On March 3, 2010, our Clark County/Vancouver Million Mom March Chapter and allies at Washington CeaseFire held a press conference near the flagship Starbucks store in downtown Seattle, and delivered tens of thousands of signed petitions Starbucks Corporate Headquarters, demanding they reconsider their reckless policy on guns in their shops.

Concerned moms and families also gathered outside of their local Starbucks in Alexandria, Virginia, on March 6, 2010 to protest the chain's dangerous policy on guns.

Join with our Chapters and concerned citizens nationwide, and demand that your local Starbucks bar the open carrying of guns in their store!
