⏰ 4-6 pm
📍University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Gifflels Auditorium, Room 201 Old Main with a short walk to Greek Theater to place flag memorial.Last year 550 people were killed by firearms in Arkansas. Countless others were injured and forever impacted by this violence. Please join us on Feb 22nd as we honor and hold space for the thousands of Arkansans who were impacted by gun violence last year.
Let us begin 2026 by setting aside a time to collectively pause, reflect, and acknowledge the healing, change, and power we cultivate when we come together to make our communities safer.
In light of last semester's Aug 25 shooting hoax and lockdown, we believe the University of Arkansas Campus is a meaningful place to host this vigil.
