Vigil in Memory of Marcelo Lucero, Tomorrow at 6pm

The following is a letter of invitation to the vigil of Marcelo Lucero, this Saturday at 6pm, from his family. If you'd like to learn more about Marcelo Lucero or what is occurring out in Suffolk County you can read the Southern Poverty Law Center Report: Climate of Fear or find more on this event, Vigil in Memory of Marcelo Lucero.

My family’s wish is to create a new environment of peace and unity for our community. We would like to invite members of all communities to share in the vigil in memory of my dear brother, Marcelo Lucero, on Saturday November 7 at 6pm next to the train station where he lost his life. Following the vigil, we will walk to the Congregational Church of Patchogue located on Main Street for a religious ceremony
scheduled for 7:30pm. We request from all who attend to wear a white t-shirt in solidarity to share in this day of peace, healing and hope. Our message is no more violence but peace, no more racism but instead brotherhood and no more abuse rather respect.

During the vigil, we will collect donations for the Marcelo Lucero Scholarship that I created last year for the students of Patchogue-Medford HS and monies will also be used to send a mural to Gualaceo, Ecuador, which was created by Pat-Med students as a symbol of peace. If you or your organization would like to send a contribution in advance please write checks to: Marcelo Lucero Scholarship and send it directly to the Patchogue-Medford HS, 181 Buffalo Avenue, Medford, New York 11763.

Please be advised that this event will not be used for any political agendas. We would like to thank you in advance for your support and for respecting our wishes.

En Solidarity,
Joselo Lucero and family
