On March 1st, we will come together for Disability Day of Mourning—to honor the lives of people with disabilities who were taken too soon by those meant to care for them. Their lives mattered. Their stories deserved a different ending. And though we grieve, we also ask: What can we do to ensure this never happens again? At Starfire, we believe in pausing—not just to remember, but to act. Our work is life-affirming and life-saving, and it calls on each of us to step forward. ?? Saturday, March 1, 2025 | 10-11 AM ?? Longview Cemetery, 7076 Glenmeadow Lane, Cincinnati, OH ??
