SARASOTA | Project Pride will hold a Pulse remembrance June 12 from 4-6 p.m. at its Sarasota headquarters, reflecting on the tragedy’s 10-year mark.
The organization shared it will open its office “as a quiet space of remembrance for the 49 lives taken at Pulse nightclub ten years ago.” A moment of silence will be held at 4:49 p.m.
The gathering is not designed as a formal program, Project Pride noted. Instead, organizers hope participants can reflect on “the 49 lives lost at Pulse, survivors, families, the Latinx LGBTQ+ community and all those forever impacted.”
Guests can also participate in “We Carry Love Forward.” They’ll have the opportunity to “write a short note of love, hope, remembrance or care,” placing them in a drop box or adding it to a community display.
“You are warmly invited to stop by during the 4–6 p.m. window as you are able,” Project Pride Executive Director Justyn Hunter-Ceruti shared in an email to supporters. “Our goal is to keep this simple, reverent, trauma-informed and centered on remembrance, love and community care.”
