Presentation: North Carolinians Against Gun Violence
Join us at St. Paul’s this Easter season as we explore how we are called to live into Christ’s resurrection in our world today. St. Paul’s Racial Justice Planning Group (RJPG) is excited to bring Sara Smith, from North Carolinians Against Gun Violence who will speak about the state of gun violence in North Carolina and how individuals, families, and communities can prevent it.
