SAN FRANCISCO—Hundreds of community members gathered in Portsmouth Square in San Francisco on the evening of Jan. 26 to commemorate the victims of two recent mass shootings in California and to help heal the shocked communities.
After one minute of silence for those who died in the Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay shootings, an organizer read all known victims’ names one by one. Members and leaders of 15 local community organizations called for more accessible mental health care, domestic violence care, and sensible stricter gun control laws.
