In 2007, Congress designated September 25 as the National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims. Two out of every three victims are killed with a firearm, but the day of “remembrance” is the only thing Congress has done to acknowledge this loss.
The first annual Concert Across America to End Gun Violence took place on this day, but this year we will have musical events on Sunday, September 24, followed by a Day of Action on September 25. We must be respectful of what this day stands for, while demanding that Congress mandates a background check for every gun sale.

To make the concept work for all of our faith-based and international partners, we’ve expanded to include Sept. 21 (International Peace Day) as well as the 23rd. We encourage all of our new international partners to participate by joining us in singing “Nothing More,” a song of love and peace.

We thought that this was a perfect time to hold our event, coinciding with these two important days.
