January 8 is the one-year anniversary of the Tucson Massacre, which claimed the lives of six Americans and wounded 13 others. On this somber day, we will remember all of those who have been hurt by and lost to gun violence.

In cities across the country, we will gather. In Raleigh we will light a candle for those we've lost and pledge to build peaceful communities. Every light could let one more child see another birthday, a graduation, a wedding and the birth of new children in turn. Every light could be a life.
