Enough is enough! Join us this Thursday as we take a stand against hate violence.
Please join us Thursday, February 28th for a vigil to call attention to the epidemic of anti-gay and anti-transgender hate crimes in Florida. We are honoring the life of Simmie Williams, Jr., a teen, whose life was tragically halted when he was gunned down in cold-blooded murder last Thursday night. The vigil is a call to action to mobilize communities against crimes of hate.
Currently the police are investigating Simmie’s murder as a hate crime based on accounts from witnesses at the scene. Few other details are known.
