About the event

Consistent with the resolutions of The Episcopal Church and our diocese, SJE’s Gun Violence Prevention Team (GVP) advocates for the adoption of common sense gun-safety legislation. St. John's GVP team and March for Our Lives-Grand Haven are hosting a "Silenced by Gun Violence" Die-In protest on Saturday, October 1, from 1pm-3pm on SJE's lawn at the corner of Washington Avenue and Sixth Street. We are planning the Die-In as performance art to raise awareness of gun violence and to advocate for gun-safety legislation to be passed in the State of Michigan. 

The 124 “tombstones” on the lawn – represent the average number of people who died from gun violence per day in the United States in 2020. 

The tombstones also represent friends, family members, neighbors who were silenced by gun violence. The information recorded on each tombstone is an actual firearm fatality that occurred in Michigan since January 1, 2022.…
