Radical Action for Gender Equality and the Heritage Neighborhood
Association are holding a vigil in honor of Esme Barrera and all victims
and survivors of violence, followed by a candlelight procession through
the Heritage Neighborhood, ending with a speak-out session where the mic
will be open to anyone who wants to share their experiences, thoughts,
feelings, music or poetry about the recent violence and what we can do
about it.

Saturday, February 11th at 7-9 p.m.
Meet at My Cleaner’s parking lot at 3100 Guadalupe St.
7:30: Procession begins through Esme’s neighborhood, pausing for a moment
of silence in front of her house.
8pm: Arrive at Q Austin: A Queer Community Space in Central Austin, 3408
West Ave. Anyone will have the opportunity to share their experiences.

Some candles will be provided, please bring a candle and pictures of
anyone you'd like to honor.

Light refreshments will be available, and AIDS Services of Austin will be
providing free HIV Testing.

All welcome, children, wheelchair, and pet friendly!

Radical Action for Gender Equality firmly believes that a victim is NEVER
to blame for violence against them. It is everyone's responsibility to
keep each other safe, and end a culture of violence and domination that
disproportionately harms women, people of color, the GLBTQ community, and
other historically marginalized groups. Come stand with us and help us
reclaim our neighborhood!

Note that this event could be triggering for survivors. We will have
designated safe people to support anyone triggered by the event.
