2013 homeless memorial

2013 HOMELESS MEMORIAL
Friday, December 20, 2013 was a frigid day—a sharp reminder of how brutal
the winter can be, even in Tucson. But the Tucson community faced the cold,
joining Primavera at our annual Homeless Memorial, in order to remark and
reflect on the lives of women and men who died without a home.
“This is one of the saddest places in Tucson, but for me,
it is also one of the most important spaces. It forces
us to remember some of the more important ways we
can improve, and it reminds us we are a community.
And today, as a community, we encircle these people.
We embrace them, and we reach out to them with
love, with respect, and with recognition.”
ROBIN REINEKE
Co-Founder and Executive Director
Colibri Center for Human Rights
Every year, too many members of our community die while
experiencing homelessness. They die of cold, of ill-health,
or they are murdered in unprovoked hate crimes. Held on
or near the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year,
homeless memorials are a nation-wide effort to bring light to
these very serious health risks and injustice of being homeless.
People gathered at the Evergreen Cemetery’s potter field to
share memories of those who passed, speak about social
injustice, share blessings, and reaffirm our commitment to
continue fighting to end homelessness.
Thank you, to all of our speakers, Joseph Scott, Jon McLane, Rubén Reyes,
Brother David Buer, Kay Wolferstetter, Faye Goggins, Maricela Solis, Debra
Jacobson, Si Gung James Lofquist, Robin Reineke, Pete Gomez, Supervisor
Richard Elías, Basheer Shahin, and Reverend Ron Phares, with music provided
by Federico Colmenero, Randy Gillespie, and Taps by Michael Ruiz.

/ YOUR SUPPORT /
You Made Santa’s Village a Happy Holiday Event
For the second year in a row, Santa’s Village was a day of
games, crafts, food, gift wrapping, and good cheer. Over 50
families joined Primavera for the Saturday “shopping” event.
Because of your generous gift donations, rooms overflowed
with gift options for all ages. Family members chose gifts, had
them wrapped, and took them home for family celebrations on
Christmas. Thank you for making this day possible.
