This video campaign will move you to tears.
Last week, the #RestInPride video campaign launched to honor the 49 innocent lives lost at Pulse nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016.
In the wake of the Orlando tragedy, it is important to confront hate face-to-face and let the LGBT community and allies know we are not alone.
#RestInPRIDE is one of the first call-to-action campaigns created to spread the message of love and support to people who are feeling alone or scared to live proudly.
The video features 49 different shared Pride memories honoring the 49 victims. It includes various ethnicities, genders, ages, sexual orientations and people directly affected by the Orlando tragedy.
The video ends with participants putting rainbow-style “war paint” on as a symbol that action needs to be taken.
The campaign encourages the LGBT community and allies to record and post their most prideful memory on the RestInPride Facebook Page. Through sharing uplifting video messages with heart, #RestInPRIDE continues the important conversation about the victims and those affected by senseless acts of violence that take place on a daily basis.
Encourage others to share moments to make their voices heard and show the Orlando community support at OneOrlando. Hear their names, see their faces, feel their stories and know the lives of our 49 brothers and sisters were not lost in vain but live on in the collective heart of our community.
