Keep NY SAFE Day

One Million Moms for Gun Control’s New York state chapters will be convening in Albany on Feb. 12th for Keep NY SAFE Day, a lobbying event and press conference to show our support for New York’s leadership on common-sense gun regulation.


Members of One Million Moms for Gun Control from throughout the state will spend the day meeting with legislators to applaud them for their courage in passing common-sense gun regulation in response to the epidemic of gun violence that plagues our nation. We also invite other like-minded organizations to join us as we show a united front. 


A press conference will feature remarks from One Million Moms for Gun Control’s Kim Russell, a Brooklyn mother who has been the victim of gun violence. Other speakers will be announced next week. 


Please note: This day will coincide with a Gun Rights Lobby Day. We want to make sure the NRA's perspective isn't the only one heard on Feb. 12th. 


Meet us in the lobby of the Legislative Office Building, starting at 9 am.


We know everyone won't be able to get off of work or find childcare for a day trip, so we'll also be launching an email/phone call campaign to coincide with the event!

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

Let's look at the appropriateness of this post. First, it's clearly an ad because it points to aRead More specific insurance agent at a specific agency to contact. Second, it attempts to hide being an ad behind what may be useful information (or not). Third, the "person" who posted it doesn't use their real name. Instead, they use a pseudonym Divorce Information NOW. That doesn’t seem terribly reassuring to me. This the third advertising post on the “announcements” space since Rye Patch converted to the new site layout. Seems a bit of a mess to me. But hopefully someone will come along and figure out who the real poster is, their link to the advertised agent and agency, and then delete the post. After all, if it’s an ad, it should be labeled as such and the poster should pay for having it run. If that doesn’t happen, Patch won’t be able to pay its employees to keep real content on the site.

Don't feel so bad. The Patch doesn't even acknowledge that PC is a waterfront community. We've allRead More been shorted.
