We are fundraising to offer financial assistance to immediate family members of victims and survivors of gun violence who would like to participate and/or attend any or all the events planned. Residents from Newtown and other areas from Connecticut may travel on the chartered bus departing from Newtown on December 11th as space allows.
We are in the process of negotiating for discounted group rates for lodging and we hope to offer grants to offset some of the travel and lodging expenses for the families of victims and survivors of gun violence. We will be asking our guests to make their own travel arrangements.
In order to plan appropriately, we ask that each person traveling to D.C please complete this short survey as soon as possible and no later than November 15th at 9:00AM.
