After Parkland

Oct. 14, 2023

“If after this screening and talk we have just one person who stores their gun safely, reaches out to their Congressperson about gun safety laws, or even decides to join us in our movement, then we have made the impact we’re striving for.” So says Molly Stanifer, a volunteer with Moms Demand Action in Traverse City, a group that encourages responsible gun ownership and common sense gun reform to help prevent gun deaths. On Wednesday, Oct. 18, at 6:30pm at the State Theatre, the organization is screening the documentary After Parkland, a film that showcases aftermath of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. A panel discussion that includes experts from Michigan State University, Interlochen Center for the Arts, and a Traverse City Central High School student will follow the film. Tickets are $10 (free for students) at the door or at stateandbijou.org.
