Wusa 9 allyson barber is at National Harbor to explain how you can step up, even if your miles away from orlando. This is beautiful yet heart breaking reminder of the massacre in orlando but remembering is the simple part. For most of us its impossible to forget that almost two days ago one man gunned down 49 innocent people and many of us want to do much more than just remember. Its the people who sacrifice their lives who need to be up lifted and be on peoples slips more than anything else right now. Hundreds of people gathered in Dupont Circle to mourn all of the lives lost in orlando. Some called for change. This is just kind of a reminder that were still coming up on the rough side of the mountain, there needs to be more discussions about changing peoples ideology and really teaching people how to learn to be loving and accepting as opposed to just tolerant of certain things. Others quietly grieve. For many a vigil like this is a big way to support the victims. I think its a great way to show support by bringing the kids down and teaching them what its them that being full, being of the Lgbt Community is not a bad thing. But it isnt the only way. There are blood banks all across the city, still asking for donations. There are fundraisers, one go fund me started by Equality Florida is trying to raise 5 million. Some say the way to lift up every victim, those who survived and those who didnt, is openly showing love. Go to clubs and dance, without fear. I believe this will change the hearts and minds of others and i believe that this is the best way to honor the memory of our brothers and sisters in orlando. Reporting for wusa 9, allyson barber.
