Join LAMPa and ecumenical and interfaith partners in Harrisburg Nov. 14-15 as we come together to raise our voices against gun violence. The gathering aims to create awareness, foster dialogue, and inspire action toward a safer future for all. Through engaging discussions, thought-provoking presentations, and legislative visits, we will explore the urgent need for change in our communities. Together, we can work toward a society free from the devastating effects of gun violence.
