(Beaver, PA) Beaver County Young Democrats issued the following release:

This Saturday, April 1, 2023, Beaver County residents will gather in front of the Courthouse to rally for common sense gun reform. On Wednesday, March 29th, a hoax phone call was made to local police about Hopewell High School. In response to this threat, schools across Beaver County initiated lockdown protocols to keep students and educators safe. Parents and students deserve to live in a world where they don’t have to fear attending school as a potentially life threatening event. We are demanding that our leaders and political representatives do their best to make tangible policy changes to protect our communities. Thoughts and prayers do not protect anyone from active shooters. We must hold policy makers accountable for this cycle of fear and violence in our communities.

WHAT: Beaver County March For Our Lives

WHO: Beaver County Democratic Committee, Beaver County Young Democrats, Voices for Change Beaver County

WHEN: Noon, Saturday, April 1, 2023

WHERE: Front steps of the Beaver County Courthouse, 810 3rd St, Beaver, PA 15009
