The University of Colorado at Boulder聮s Women's Resource Center invites university students, faculty, staff and the public to participate in a candlelight vigil on Thursday, Jan. 29, in remembrance of Susannah Chase, who died Dec. 22 of injuries sustained in an assault Dec. 21.
According to Katherine Moerke, director of 抖阴旅行射-Boulder聮s Women聮s Resource Center, the vigil is intended to protest violence, and to help create a safe community. The vigil will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the corner of 18th and Spruce streets.
Following remarks by family, friends and community safety advocates, participants will walk to and along Pearl Street to the Boulder County Courthouse in a silent march. The vigil will close with a poetry reading and singing.
In order to maximize safety, participants are encouraged to take The Hop or RTD, or to carpool or walk in a group to and from the vigil. Participants also are asked to bring their own candles.
