As we gather in anticipation of the upcoming Survivors Walk on Saturday September 13, 2025 at 9am -I want to take a moment to reflect on the profound significance of this event and the sacred space we will occupy: Garfield Park. This walk transcends mere celebration; it is a powerful acknowledgment of the diverse and often challenging journeys we have all undertaken as survivors from various walks of life. Each of us carries a unique narrative of strength, resilience, and perseverance, and together, we weave a rich tapestry of hope and healing.
Garfield Park is not merely a park; it is a landmark steeped in history and spirit. It has served as a battleground for our icons, a place where voices rose in unity to rally for justice, equality, and dignity within our community. This space has borne witness to the courage of countless individuals who bravely stood against adversity, advocating for change and empowerment. The echoes of their determination reverberate through the park's grounds, a constant reminder of the struggles fought and the progress achieved.
As we walk together, let us honor the significance of Garfield Park as a beacon of resilience and activism. It stands as a testament to our collective strength and the enduring fight for justice. By respecting this space, we pay homage to those who paved the way for our voices to be amplified, ensuring that their legacy continues to inspire future generations.
I urge each of you to pause and reflect on the rich history of Garfield Park and the vital role it has played in shaping our community. It is our shared responsibility to preserve its legacy as a sanctuary for all who seek solace and empowerment. Let us unite, not only to celebrate our survival but also to pay tribute to the struggles and triumphs that have defined us.
Join us in recognizing the importance of the Survivors Walk, and embrace the role we all share in honoring the past while forging a path toward a brighter future. Together, we can amplify our voices and continue the vital work of those who came before us, ensuring that Garfield Park remains a place of respect, solidarity, and empowerment for generations to come.
Thank you for being an integral part of this meaningful journey. Together, we will create a lasting impact.
