Hell Hath No Fury Like a Grandmom Scorned

At 12:30 this afternoon, the organization Moms Against Guns will bring its message to the masses from a stage in Love Park. Lynne Korman Honickman, local philanthropist and founder of the organization, was told she'd be "spinning her wheels" if she tried to galvanize women across the state to express their outrage over our appalling rate of gun violence, particularly that against children. This afternoon's rally is the organization's official kick-off; there is already a petition online you can sign if you can't make it downtown for lunch. Monica Yant Kinney's Inquirer column today was devoted to Honickman and her movement; colleague Jane Golden said of her: "She really believes one person can make a difference." Amen to that. Spin on, grandmom, spin on.
