Leah Barrett Executive
Director of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence will address the question: “What
can we do?”
NYAGV was established in
1993 by mothers galvanized by the senseless shooting death of a teacher in
Prospect Park. After the Long Island Railroad massacre in December 1993, a Nassau
County chapter was started. In 1999, a Suffolk County chapter was created.
On the list of subjects
tonight: the “Child Access Prevention” or “Safe Storage Law” and “Nicholas’s
Bill named for 12-year old Nicholas Naumkin fatally
shot in 2010 while on a playdate.
