New York City Council Member Gale Brewer, the final speaker, noted that there were 212 mass shootings this year — more than there are days on the calendar so far. Songs were performed by Ari Priven of B’nai Jeshurun, and Robin Bahr-deStefano of St. Paul & St. Andrew, including Where Have All the Flowers Gone, and, finally, Amazing Grace.
Candles were lit and flowers laid upon the entry steps.
