Rise and Remember exists to hold in remembrance those we have lost to the pervasive impacts of systemic racism, and to gather people to pursue racial justice and equity. This year at Rise and Remember, we will host our annual Self-Care Fair a candlelight vigil. In the work of racial justice, sometimes we just need a reset. Come to George Floyd Square on May 25th from 2-6 PM to receive free wellness services including bodywork, meditation, arts & crafts, mutual aid, and more! Then join us at 7:00 PM for a family-led candlelight vigil to remember George Floyd.
Our theme for Rise & Remember 2024 is “As Long As We Have Breath, Reset.” As we approach the 4th angelversary of George Floyd, we recognize that the fight for racial justice takes a heavy toll on our minds and our bodies. Each day we wake up with breath in our bodies is an opportunity to self-assess and reset when necessary. The George Floyd Global Memorial wants to encourage everyone to take for wellness. The work of racial justice needs all of us to be whole.
We need you! There are hundreds of volunteer opportunities throughout all three days. We could use all the help we can get. Feel free to sign up as a team!
