Welcome.

“Remembering January 8th”is a community-wide effort that will commemorate the first anniversary of the tragic day in 2011, when U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and eighteen other citizens were shot during a public constituent event held at a Tucson shopping center.  Six of the shooting victims died that day.  This year, in order to honor Tucson’s response in the aftermath of this tragedy, many community and grassroots organizations have come together to provide  a variety of commemorative events that will take place throughout January 2012.

RememberingJanuary8.org  is the public’s source for information regarding these ongoing events  throughout Tucson.  This website also allows visitors to submit related events and share personal stories about the impact of January 8th on their lives.
