Thousands of Nashvillians came together to create a three mile human chain from Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where the victims of The Covenant School shooting were brought to the Tennessee State Capitol as a demonstration for the urging to pass gun safety measures on Tuesday, April 18. The "Linking Arms for Change" event was Voices for a Safer Tennessee, a newly-formed, nonpartisan statewide coalition dedicated to prioritizing gun safety and advocating for common sense gun laws to make communities across Tennessee safer for all. Members of the clergy also participated including, from left, Father Pat Kibby, senior pastor of St. Henry Church, Bishop J. Mark Spalding, and Father Eric Fowlkes, pastor of the Cathedral of the Incarnation, who all stood in the line across from the Cathedral on West End.
