A solemn but hopeful gathering at Ecumenical Campus Ministries on Wednesday honored 74 transgender and gender-nonconforming people who died across the United States during the last year.
A longtime leader who has worked to improve life for refugees in Lawrence and the director of a center that serves unhoused people are the 2024 recipients of the Tom and Anne More Peace and Justice Awards.
The Lawrence community is invited to the International Day of Peace celebration at Ecumenical Campus Ministries, where a local individual and an organization will be recognized for their contributions to promoting peace and justice.
Lawrence community members helped around the clock during the recent extreme cold snap, and advocates say there is no doubt that their efforts saved people’s lives.
