A Memorial and Call to Action
The El Paso Firme Community Memorial Event is hosted by the Border Network for Human Rights in remembrance of the 23 innocent lives lost and the dozens injured in the El Paso shooting five years ago. The memorial serves as an opportunity for a renewed call to action against gun violence, white supremacy, xenophobia, and the anti-immigrant agenda. As part of the event, the BNHR organizes a procession, with representatives of the participating organizations and community members carrying large memorial crosses to represent each of the 23 people lost.
BNHR and its allies are committed to combating gun violence and the hate-inspiring rhetoric spreading in our country and will exhaust every possible measure to hold accountable those who spread it in the community, mainstream, and social media.
