MURALS_190706_11.JPG: When the architects of a nationwide anti-gun violence campaign deliver some 720,000 postcards to Capitol Hill on Tuesday morning urging universal background checks for gun buyers, it will mark the culmination of a monthslong effort that brought colorful murals near two prominent DC intersections with a straightforward call to action: #EndGunViolenceTogether.
It’s an issue with national and local dimensions. In 2018, the District experienced a rise in the number of homicides as well as in the proportion of shootings that turned deadly. With numbers climbing again so far this year, city officials are promising a dual approach that targets illegal guns and expands violence prevention programs and social services.

Meanwhile, the national campaign organized by the California-based shoe company TOMS hopes to make a strong statement in DC with a kickoff event tonight at Union Market and a rally tomorrow that starts at a Capitol Hill hotel. Among the local groups planning to participate is the George Washington University chapter of March for Our Lives.
Organizers of the End Gun Violence Together campaign set the stage in December with completion of a new street art mural in Brentwood at 1311 Rhode Island Ave. NE. On Dec. 17, community members — including the father of one of the District’s 160 homicide victims in 2018, who had been killed nearby — helped artists complete the graffiti project, one of 40 across the country funded by TOMS in conjunction with its anti-violence campaign. TOMS, a socially conscious company that donates a pair of shoes to someone in need for every pair that is purchased, has spent about $5 million on the End Gun Violence Together initiative.
Roger Marmet, the owner of the Adams Morgan restaurant Roofers Union, said he felt he needed to participate to help raise awareness of the “steady beat of gun violence” in the District. Just two months earlier, he had lost his 22-year-old son Roger “Tom” Marmet, a social worker who was driving home from work at the nonprofit So Others Might Eat on Oct. 24 when he was hit by a stray bullet just off Bladensburg Road NE. In late December, police announced that Barry Marable, a 22-year-old from Northeast, had been arrested in connection with the shooting and charged with first-degree murder.
To honor his son, Roger Marmet joined about 30 people at the corner of a large parking lot where MidCity’s new 20-acre RIA development project is slated to include housing as well as a town center with retailers, restaurants and public green spaces.
The night before, longtime DC artist Jason Bowers teamed up with California’s Jon Leonardo and DC newcomer Jay Hill to create outlines of hands so those in attendance could finish the mural the next day. The mural — strategically placed so it is visible from a major road — features the message “#EndGunViolenceTogether” in large white letters, with colorful hands making peace signs in the background.
