March for Change

Thursday, Feburary 14, 2013

Leaving Wolfe Park at 8:30, going to Hartford CT. for 11am March.  Est. arrival back is 3pm

 

We have a bus for Monroe and are looking for 18 people to fill it!

"Our hearts are broken.  Not just in Connecticut, but around the country.  All eyes are on Connecticut right now.  What will we do about it?  What can we do about it?  Put all of us together as a collective, unified voice all focused on one singular goal and the answer is – everything.  We have all of the power.  Be heard. Help us: -Change the Conversation. Change the Culture. Change the Laws.

Together, we partner with Connecticut Against Gun Violence and their grassroots movement, March for Change, as we gather on the steps of the capital building in Hartford and plead with our legislators to enforce  common sense gun laws to protect our families

The march will take place from 11am-1pm on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14th at the Hartford State Capital building.
We ask everyone to come wearing green to honor the victims that have forced this nation into action.  Your families, including children, are welcome to join.  Please bring a friend.  Come dressed for the cold weather as we stand together in solidarity.

There are TWELVE school buses across the lower Fairfield County region waiting to be filled to take us up to Hartford and back.
Each person is asked to share in the costs of these buses at $26 per person round trip.  Parking at the Capital building is tough so this eliminates the need for each of us to drive (~80 miles) , park, find the location and drive back.  Not only that, but we can socialize all of the way!
You can choose any pickup/dropoff location that is convenient for you when booking your reservation.  The list below is constantly being updated with new locations, all at commuter parking lots – any ideas or suggestions please feel free to email us at marchforchange@ctmomsonline.com"

Thank you everyone for your comments. Carl - will try not to be offended by your "anyone withRead More half a brain" comment. I am dismayed to hear Dawn that you have made this effort and been turned down by the town and police department (it's not uncommon for me to see the police speeding up and down Moose Hill Road too!) Glad to hear, though, that I am not alone in seeing a need for people to get a grip on the road. Slow down. Hang up. Comply with stop signs and stop lights. Be courteous.

I have been tail-gated so many times - everywhere in Monroe - I drive a little over the posted speedRead More limit BUT I respect the people walking (most of the time in the wrong direction) and bike riders (they too ride in the wrong direction. HANG UP THE PHONE - DON'T PIGGY BACK thru a stop sign, and learn the right of way rule. AND STOP SIGNS mean S T O P!!! Robin lane people are good for running stop signs. And Pepper Street is 25 mph - NOT 45 or 50!!! Walkers & runners FACE TRAFFIC - Bike riders RIDE WITH TRAFFIC. AND one more thing - don't block the drive ways if there is a stop light - and someone coming in or out - let them and move on. THANKS for letting me get this off my chest!!!!!

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.
