News from Princeton, NJ

Six family members (cousins, stepmother, daughter, sister and mother) remember the loss of Natalie, who would have turned 33 years old this day.  She was gunned down by ex-boyfriend in December 2000.  The family has been associated with the Million Mom March since attending the Mercer County Chapter’s 1st Anniversary Rally/Candlelight Vigil in 2001. Fifty people honored victims of gun violence in Niles Chapel of the Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton, NJ on Sunday. Co-sponsored by the Mercer County Million Mom March Chapter, Coalition for Peace Action, Fellowship in Prayer, and the Trenton NAACP Branch, the candlelight vigil included clergy from the Fellowship, Nassau Presbyterian, Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton, Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, family members of local gun violence victims, gun violence prevention activists, and other concerned citizens.
After the vigil, the attendees signed Close the Gun Show Loophole cards which are being gathered by the NJ Million Mom March for presentation to their Congressional Representatives. Many stayed afterward to discuss future collaboration with the MMM.
