Organizers from the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts B-PEACE for Jorge Campaign and Episcopal City Mission will gather Massachusetts Episcopalians for the march, beginning at 10 a.m., at the Unitarian Universalist Urban Ministry building (10 Putnam Street/John Eliot Square) in Roxbury and then join the main march beginning at Madison Park High School at 11 a.m.
The Episcopal Cathedral Church of St. Paul (138 Tremont Street, across the street from the Boston Common) will be open all day, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., offering space for people to rest, refresh, reflect and convene before the march reaches the Boston Common and during the rally scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Among the activities scheduled at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul is a youth postcard-writing campaign directed toward those with power to affect legislation and gun sales.
At each of these locations, people will be able to participate in social media and advocacy actions to reinforce several messages: that an overabundance of guns on streets and in schools is an intolerable epidemic (#NotinOurSchoolsAndNotInOurStreets); that gun manufacturers need to be a part of the solution (#MeetWithStudents); and that Massachusetts should enact Extreme Risk Protection Order legislation (#PassERPO).
