(Norristown, PA) -- Victim Services Center of Montgomery County is devastated and outraged by the epidemic of gun violence across our nation. Gun violence is taking lives in our schools, houses of worship, shopping centers, in our streets, and in places where all people--especially children--should be safe.
The recent mass murder of school children in Uvalde, Texas, the racist massacre of people in Buffalo, New York, past killings, and continued gun violence requires urgent action and preventive measures.
We urge everyone to join us in making VSC's vision a reality. Our vision is to empower the community and to aid in the creation of a society free from violence.
