The City of Las Vegas and Clark County will both be holding remembrance ceremonies this Sunday for the victims of the 1 October shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival on the Las Vegas Strip on Oct. 1, 2017.
The event featured live performances, food, cultural products and resources for voter registration and immigration assistance. It reportedly follows a “Stop Asian Hate” rally for Las Vegas resident Amadeo Quindara, 75, who was viciously assaulted by his neighbor in May. What organizers are saying: Gloria T. Caoile, co-founder of the National Federation of Filipino American Associations, described people of color, immigrants and LGBTQ+ individuals as “integral threads” in the fabric of Nevada’s communities, according to KSNV.
