Two local community organizations, Indivisible Fishers Resist and Streetside Democracy Defenders, are planning a candlelight vigil this weekend in Fishers.
According to an announcement from the groups, the vigil is scheduled for Sunday, January 11, from 5 to 6 p.m. at Roy G. Holland Memorial Park, located at 1 Park Drive. Organizers say the event is intended as a peaceful gathering in response to what they describe as a wrongful incident involving Renée Nicole Good on January 7.
In their statement, organizers said they are calling on community members to come together to acknowledge what they believe occurred and to show solidarity. The announcement criticizes what it describes as actions and messaging from the current administration, though no specific officials or agencies were named.
Organizers emphasized that the vigil is meant to be family friendly and focused on strengthening community connections. Candles will be provided, and attendees are welcome to bring posters or signs, though the groups ask that messages remain appropriate for all ages.
“The goal is to keep the messages family friendly and to strengthen the ties within our community,” the announcement states.
The vigil is open to the public, and no speeches or programming beyond the candlelight gathering were outlined in advance. Organizers say the hour-long event is intended to provide space for reflection and peaceful expression.
