Mothers Outreach Movement and the United for Youth Coalition organized a vigil

On Tuesday, Dec. 16th, members of the Seattle community led by MOM
(Mothers Outreach Movement) and the United for Youth Coalition
organized a vigil to be held on the corner of Alaska and Reineer in
the south end of Seattle. During the vigil, whose purpose was to honor
the lives of those who’ve passed in a recent outbreak and youth
violence in Seattle’s South End and Central district, another shooting
took place at Garfield Community Center near the High School on the
corner of 23rd and Cherry. This is only weeks after another shooting
took place at the High School just one block around the corner. The
organizers of the vigil, committed to responding instantaneously to
such violence, moved the vigil to the site of the shooting. HHC
Northwest Regional Coordinator, Julie C and HHC president Shamako
Noble were on site and these photos were taken by Julie C.
