Gun Violence and Santa Cruz Today

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6 @ 7 PM:
FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
900 HIGH STREET, SANTA CRUZ (WESTSIDE)
Facilitated Conversation:
Dave Grishaw-Jones, hosting
Stoney Brook, retired SC homicide detective
Peter Tarantino, graduating senior, Harbor High School
Regina Henderson, founding member, “Take Back Santa Cruz”
You’re invited to a safe space, an open circle, an opportunity for conversation and sharing around the concerns that we share: violence in our community, guns and their devastating impact, the future of our neighborhoods and schools. As we reflect on a week of terrible violence, we come together to express ourselves and seek hope in relationships.
Our evening will begin with a facilitated conversation among those listed above; then we’ll turn to one another in small circles of conversation, offering our thoughts and ideas in a setting of deep compassion and respect.
COMMUNITY GROUPS working on issues around GUN VIOLENCE and safety are invited to bring sign-up forms and posters inviting participation. The planners for 3/6 have in mind a conversation rather than a strategy event: but community groups are encouraged to be present with information about coming events and initiatives.
