The local Coalition for Peace Action will sponsor March for Our Lives on Saturday, June 11, from 4 pm to 5:30 pm at Hinds Plaza in Princeton (adjacent to Princeton Public Library on Witherspoon Street).
The march is part of a Day of Action in nearly 500 cities coordinated by March for Our Lives, the youth-led gun violence prevention group formed after the Parkland, FL mass shooting.
So far, the following speakers have confirmed attendance at the event:
NJ State Senator Andrew Zwicker
Teska Frisbee, Mercer County Gun Violence Prevention Lead for Moms Demand Action
Rabbi Arnold Gluck, Temple Beth-El, Hillsborough
Sharleen Leahey, musician
The Rev. Lukata Mjumbe, Pastor, Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church
The Rev. Robert Moore, Executive Director, Coaltion for Peace Action (CFPA)
Dolores Phillips, Legislative Director, CFPA's Ceasefire NJ Project
Sue Repko, Gun Violence Survivor
Laura Zurfluh, Coordinator, Indivisible Cranbury
Event organizers are asking participants to register so they can make appropriate arrangements and coordinate safety at the rally with law enforcement.
Those planning to attend are also invited to a 3 pm poster-making gathering at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton, 50 Cherry Hill Rd., Princeton. Free parking next to church, attendees may ride together to the rally after making their posters.
