Monday night the community of Salinas plans to come together to honor and remember #PulseOrlando.

The anniversary vigil will be hosted by, “Our Gente” an organization which provides training, community events, and monthly socials by and for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual youth here on the central coast.

The potluck vigil will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Maple Street in Salinas.
