Graphic with the title: "National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day: Women in Black Solstice Vigil" Underneath is the text: "Saturday, December 21, 4:21 - 6:00 PM. Tree of Life, Victor Steinbrueck Park, Seattle. Stand with WHEEL to remember and honor the 250+ homeless people who died outside in King County this year. Starting with a sunset ritual at 4:21 PM at the Tree of Life. Followed by a silent vigil from 5-6 PM at Westlake Park.

Every year, WHEEL stands vigil for the unsheltered people who’ve died in King County that year.

This year, we’re grieving over 250 folks who passed in 2024 – 44 in November alone (which is, devastatingly, a record # of deaths in 1 month).

➡️ This Sat., Dec 21. Victor Steinbrueck Park at sunset!

Forced displacements (sweeps) of encampments disrupt connections to providers, damage trust & belongings. Fines/arrests make ending homelessness harder. We @ucsfbhhi.bsky.social created an encampment resolution guide to provide jurisdictions a way forward.
