RSVP for the Concert Across America in Virginia
On September 25, the Concert Across America to End Gun Violence will feature 350 events across the country for a day of music to honor victims of gun violence and to make gun violence prevention a voting issue in the November elections!
Across the country, musical events will take place over the course of that day at places of faith, historical theaters and other venues big and small, woven together into one national event through social media. Performers will range from internationally known names, including Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, Jackson Browne, and Rosanne Cash, to local artists.
