28th Annual Vigil, “Kapwa: Pieces of the Whole”

You are invited to join API Chaya’s 28th Annual Vigil, “Kapwa: Pieces of the Whole”, hosted on March 9, 2-5 PM at the King County Superior Court.

Every year, API Chaya hosts a vigil to honor lives ended by domestic and sexual violence. In particular, this vigil honors the lives of Susana Remerata Blackwell and her unborn baby Kristine, and her friends Phoebe Orbiso Dizon and Veronica Laureta Johnson. All three were murdered by Susana’s abusive husband on March 2nd, 1995 at the Courthouse. Leading up to their deaths, Phoebe and Veronica supported Susana in seeking services and care to keep her safe from the harm she was surviving. Masks are required at all times except for eating and drinking. Extra masks, COVID rapid tests, and hand sanitizer will be available onsite.
