One Million Moms for Gun Control's NYC-area chapters are excited to announce our rally on MLK Day, 1/21.
Inspired by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s message of nonviolence and vision of a better future for our children, we ask you to join us as we show our local, state and federal leaders that we are demanding immediate, meaningful action on common-sense gun control legislation.
This is a family-friendly event, and we encourage all supporters of gun control to attend - not just moms!Shannon Watts (1MM4GC Founder), Councilwoman Letitia James, Jackie Rowe-Adams (Harlem Mothers SAVE), and Rabbi Joshua Davidson of Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester are all scheduled to speak.
A limited number of signs will be given out, but feel free to bring your own! Be creative, but also respectful.
Please feel free to share with the community!

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, it…Read More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market will…Read More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers.
And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
