The Redmond Regional Library is hosting a community forum for locals to share, process and heal following the Orlando massacre last month.

The forum will be facilitated by Luzviminda “Lulu” Carpenter, a community advocate and radio host of #LuluNation + Crew.

The shooting took place on June 12 at a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transexual (LGBT) nightclub, putting that community on alert as a place of refuge was attacked. The events occurred on “Latino Night” and later many of the victims’ names were notably of Latinx descent. The aftermath of the tragedy has also caused Muslim communities to anticipate that they would all be labeled as terrorists.

In addition to mourning and coping from another act of violence, various communities are grappling with issues of safety based on identity, which will also be discussed at this forum. Registration is not required for this event.

The forum will be from 7-8:30 p.m. on July 28, at the Redmond Regional Library (15990 N.E. 85th St.).
