Forks Up, Guns Down!

This weekend, we stopped by Beuchert's Saloon for Forks Up, Guns Down, a special event to raise awareness and funds benefiting The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, a nonprofit focused on advocating effective gun control and violence prevention legislation.

With gun violence becoming ever-too-common these days, Beuchert’s and chef Andrew Markert, the mastermind of the event, wanted to do his part to take action and bring awareness to this issue, so he got in touch with his friends in the DC culinary community, each of whom was on-board immediately after receiving the call. Here, Trilogy Interactive’s Charles Amuzie and fiancé Angelica Morales with ReThink’s Tahir Duckett, MBO Partners’ Esley Svanas and Oxu Solutions’ Audrey Anderson.
