About the event
🏩 The SALT Coalition - Vigil for Grief & Loss🗓️ Wednesday, November 24, 2025🕕 6-8 PM📍 Medalie Park At The Pavilion, 1910 W. South Airport Rd, Traverse City, MI 49686
Join community members for an inclusive vigil to hold together in our intertwined grief.
Join community organizations for a Vigil for Grief and Loss: a gathering to honor, name, and tend to the many forms of loss we are living through together. This vigil will hold space for grief rooted in both the personal and the collective - losses born from the systems and histories that continue to shape our present.
The loss of life in ICE detention centers
The loss of food security as SNAP benefits are cut
The ongoing loss and theft of Indigenous land
The loss of people’s idea of what America is, was, or has been
The losses unfolding in Palestine and the struggle for a just peace in the Middle East
The loss of safety for our LGBTQ+ siblings
And more...
In recognizing these interconnected griefs, we also root ourselves in solidarity and collective care. We know that tending loss together helps us expand our sense of "us" and create a resilient community.
During the vigil you will hear from community leaders, have space to tend the grief, and tend the joy as we welcome each other, build relationships and interconnected community!
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!
