Guns to Gardens ~ Gun Buyback
2022-06-11 08:00 - 17:00
Across the country guns are being forged into garden tools as in Isaiah 2:4: “They shall beat their swords into plowshares.” This movement is coming to Oakland on June 11, 2022.
Guns to Gardens is a gun buyback program in which guns are forged into garden tools. Inspired by Isaiah 2:4 — “And they shall beat their swords into plowshares” — the program takes inspiration from RAWTools and successful Guns to Gardens programs across the country.
Paula Hawthorn, an organizer of the program, first learned of Michael Martin and the Guns to Gardens initiative while listening to a podcast produced by her Episcopalian church. She had already been a regular walker in the Friday Ceasefire Night Walks and a volunteer with the Brady Campaign in gun-tracing work. She brought the idea of a Guns to Gardens program to OPD.
Hawthorn, a 78 year-old retired software engineer and grandmother of five, felt compelled to become involved after three children were killed by gun violence in Oakland in 2011. “I do this work because God tells me,” she said.
With the training from RAWtools leaders, local Oakland blacksmith John Rogers and assistants will take guns that the Oakland Police Department has determined should be destroyed and will forge them into garden tools. Then on June 11, with the assistance of OPD at the church At Thy Word in East Oakland, the first 50 people turning in their guns at this event will receive one of these garden tools in addition to gift cards. The guns collected at the event will also be forged into garden tools.
Event sponsors are: Faith in Action East Bay, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, the Violence Prevention Coalition, At Thy Word Ministries Church of God in Christ, Make Oakland Better Now!, Brady United and the Oakland Police Department.
Donations are being accepted for the cost of forging the guns into tools, and purchasing gift cards.
