After we spend the day dismantling guns at our Guns to Gardens event, we invite the larger community to gather together to honor those whose lives have been affected by gun violence. We will hear from the RAWtools South organizers, local advocates & educators, survivors of gun violence, and families of victims. We will sing together, pray together, and light candles together in the hope of providing a space for healing, advocacy, and community.

Stan & Scotty from Rawtools, who are helping us with the actual dismantling during Guns to Gardens, have agreed to have a blacksmithing demonstration going on before, during, and after the vigil with some of the guns that we receive during the day.

Featured Speakers:

• Stan Wilson & Scotty Utz of RAWtools South

• Lamar Handy of the D.L. Handy Foundation

• Kim Haltiwanger of Athens Area Moms Demand Action

• Tiffany Taylor of Mothers of Black Sons Development Program

• Dave Harris of Georgia Majority for Gun Safety

• Students from SAVE Promise UGA

• Rev. Tom Buchanan, Covenant Presbyterian Church

RAWtools will also have garden tools, jewelry, and art made from guns available for purchase.
