On Friday, May 2, Chicago activists, community members and residents will gather for a candlelight vigil in honor of slain anti-violence activist Leonore Draper. 

Draper died after being shot in front of her home on Friday night during a drive-by shooting after attending the anti-violence event, A Charitable Confection to benefit project Orange Tree. 

From Always Standing Strong: Vigil, Prayer & Support Night:

Leonore left behind several family members and countless friends. Among them were her husband, Jason Draper, who is affected by multiple sclerosis, another cause she was passionate about, and A Charitable Confection fundraiser. Please join the family and friends of Jason and Leonore Draper, at the very place where Leonore was shot and taken from us, her home 11601 S. Laflin Street, Chicago, IL 60643.

Please bring an orange candle as we stand together against the gun violence that is taking such precious lives in our city. For those who cannot attend, we ask that you join us via social media on instagram or twitter with photos of your orange candle lit in her memory and hashtag it: #BrightLight
