I would like to create a post where we can gather and discuss current events surrounding this latest tragedy. There's a bunch of events unfolding, people are gathering to show peace, strength, and solidarity. If you know of locations and times, please share. For example: The Bridge to Peace that gathered on the Ravenel bridge this evening.

Also, the Westboro Baptist Church has applied for a permit to picket the funerals of the victims. Groups are already forming and preparing to create a human barrier/shield just in case they are approved to come. Let's show them what it means to be #CharlestonStrong
