On Feb. 4, the people of the greater Boston area will gather from 7 p.m. until 8 p.m. for a candlelight vigil at Copley Square. Community leaders and representatives from various aid organizations will discuss progress in relief efforts to date and speak about the still-pressing short and long-term needs.
Those attending will have the opportunity to donate money for relief efforts to the organization of their choice.
Mayor Michael A. Sullivan of Cambridge will lead us in a moment of silence at 7:45 p.m., in memory of those who have died, in support of survivors rebuilding their lives and in gratitude to relief workers.
Please bring your own candles, if you can. Come stand in solidarity.
– Aparna Das is the coordinator of the Tsunami Candlelight Vigil, Boston.
