Remembering Newtown 6 Months Later - Bring a Flower to Flood's Hill

Bringing flowers, activists from throughout Essex County will gather at Flood's Hill in 
South Orange this Friday to commemorate the 6 month anniversary of the tragedy 
at Newtown. In addition to the commemoration, people will be coming to send a 
message to New Jersey's interim Senator Jeffrey Chiesa that he should support any 
Gun Violence Prevention Bills that come before him for votes. 
The commemoration will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Friday June 14th at Flood's Hill 
located at Ridgewood Road and Mead Street in South Orange. It is being presented 
by the Essex/Morris County Chapter of Organizing for Action (OFA) and the 
Township of South Orange Viilage. South Orange Village President Alex Torpey is 
expected to attend along with other elected and community leaders.
"We are bringing flowers to remember the lives that were lost six months ago at 
Sandy Hook, but also want to send a message to our new Senator to honor their 
memories and the wishes of NewJerseyans by actively supporting bills to prevent 
further gun violence and make our country safer," said Larry Hirsch, Co-Chapter  
Leader of Essex/Morris County OFA "We welcome our neighbors to join us to send 
this message."
