“Beyond” Tucson on January 7, 2012 (to commemorate 1 year anniversary of the mass shooting on January 8, 2011)

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

The events of January 8, 2011 shook our community, affecting each of us deeply. It was a horrible day.

But in the days and months afterward, our community came together in a way it never had before. We supported each other, leaned on each other, and generally looked out for one another. The sense of togetherness was tangible.

BEYOND is a community-wide event to commemorate the anniversary of January 8th, celebrate the spirit of togetherness we felt in the days and months afterward, and re-commit ourselves to working together to build a stronger community every day.
