A group of Newtown residents, including families whose children were killed in the mass school shooting last month, are unveiling a national grass-roots initiative on Monday that they say is aimed at "preventing similar tragedies from ever taking place again," according to an announcement from the group released on Friday. The group, organized to honor the 26 students and staff members shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School last month, has formed a nonprofit organization called Sandy Hook Promise that was formerly called Newtown United. On Monday, the group will outline its plans to "ask individuals across the country to make a promise to encourage and support common sense solutions that make their communities and our country safer from acts of violence like that which occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012." |
