January 8 is the one-year anniversary of the Tucson Massacre, which claimed the lives of six Americans and wounded 13 others. And yet we continue to lose eighty-six Americans to gun violence every single day. That includes today. That's more than 31,000 people each year.

As an NCGV member you know gun violence is preventable, we can save lives. On January 8, 2012 at 6pm we are joining people who believe the same thing in 33 cities across the country. We will host a vigil to remember all of those who have been hurt by and lost to gun violence.

All across America people are coming together to save lives from preventable gun violence. In Raleigh we will light a candle for those we've lost and pledge to build peaceful communities in their honor.

We hope you can join us, to learn more or RSVP: www.safernc.org/too_many_victims
