December 17 – Day 15: Memorial, Not Just Mourning
from SWOP Behind Bars Advocacy from the Margins · host Swopbehindbars
December 17 is a day of remembrance—but it has always been more than mourning. Each year, as we gather under the red umbrella, we hold two truths at once: the depth of our grief and the strength of our resolve. Every candle lit, every name spoken aloud, every moment of silence holds the weight of loss—but it also carries the spark of resistance. Our memorials are not passive acts of sadness. They are declarations that we remember, we resist, and we refuse to let violence define us.
