News from West Chester, Pennsylvania

65 people braved the January weather and showed up outside the historic Courthouse in West Chester to participate in our vigil. At first, I spoke for about ten minutes, then opened up the mic for others. 12 people spoke about their personal experiences with gun violence, and it was very moving and disquieting. Rev. Ralph Mero of the Unitarian Fellowship of West Chester gave an ending prayer. People were so affected that they stayed and didn’t move for 5 minutes after all the speakers finished, then some broke out in a hymn. It ended up being a beautiful event.
