Brady Sarasota’s 8th Annual Vigil for Gun Violence Victims

Brady Sarasota’s 8th Annual Vigil for Gun Violence Victims
December 6th ~ 6 p.m. ~ Our Sanctuary (Mark your calendars now).
Patricia and Manny Oliver have been fighting for gun violence prevention since their son Joaquin (“Guac”) was one of 17 people killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting on Valentine’s Day 2018. They’ve been to Washington, DC; Tallahassee, and, in the past few years, have traversed the country in a repurposed yellow school bus to take their message to people around the United States.
Manny also has a one-man show, “Guac: My Son, My Hero” and other initiatives you can read about on their website – ChangeTheRef.org.
On December 6th at 6 p.m., the Oliver’s will bring their message to First Congregational UCC’s Sanctuary as the featured speakers at Brady Sarasota’s 8th Annual Vigil. This important and poignant evening of remarks, music, poetry, and a special lighting of candles has become a yearly event for many members of Brady, the community and this church.
