Before the shared Pope’s Island Remembrance Ceremony (2:30–3:00 PM), small groups will gather across the South Coast to honor those lost to traffic violence in their communities. Each gathering will include a few brief words, a flower placement, and a moment of silence before traveling together (by bike, foot, or car) to Pope’s Island for the regional ceremony.
