PGHIMC - Pittsburgh Independent Media Center

Concurrent with the NRA Annual Convention and Gun Show, an ad hoc coalition of local peace and justice groups organized a series of activities to un-welcome the NRA. The main event was a Rally and Concert to Stop Gun Violence on Saturday, August 17, attended by 500 people; other events included two feeder marches, a candlelight vigil, and a teach-in on militarism. In addition, Pittsburgh Organizing Group organized a "hunt-the-rich orange bloc."
