SEATTLE DENEKE MEMORIAL

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

OUR EVENT WILL BE ****** SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8 AT PACIFIC RIM BREWERY, 2007 ******* This national event started by Fallen Friends, all states and countries are welcome to join and organize a simultaneous memorial in their city to take place on the 10th anniversary of Brian Deneke's death. He was just 19 years old. In the past several years, memorial events in Brian's hometown of Amarillo TX, as well as Chicago and Atlanta have brought as many as 1500 people to honor the memory of a wonderful human being who unfortunately succumbed to violent death due to prejudice & ignorance. Brian's death should not be in vain. The punks in Amarillo gave thought to their response to Brian's death. Instead of lashing out, creating more hate and going against the very things that he stood for, they made a decision to make a change. They talked to their neighbors. They showed that punks are beautiful people. They showed that the kids with the spiky hair can cry and love, too. They showed the people of Amarillo that you CANNOT JUDGE A PERSON BY THEIR APPEARANCE. Whether it be a different skin color or a different haircut, or dirty clothes, none of these things will show you what's in a person's heart or what they can bring to your life. We're working to keep this memory alive so that we can all learn from this response. The Memorial supports the Brian Deneke Foundation (briandeneke.org), which supports and promotes anti-violence and non-prejudice. Brian's death will not be in vain. Local Chaos Productions is proud to be a part of this very important movement representing Seattle, if you live in the NW and want to help hit me up on this myspace or my normal email at: [email protected]

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

PEOPLE THAT WILL JOIN & ACT; NOT JUST BE MYSPACERS!!! THIS IS NOT A SEATTLE SITE BUT A GLOBAL ONE. Worldwide volunteers are wanted to be in charge of organizing their own memorial event. This site is to unify this special event as a whole. People who want to help raise awareness for anti-racism and anti- violence. People who remember Brian and help support and spread the word. Bands and Organizations please contact me about playing or being involved in the Seattle show on December 8th, 2007 at a venue TBA. We want to let our memory of Brian and what he stood for serve a positive purpose. To that end, we have organized the Brian Deneke Memorial Committee. We believe that his memory, and this committee, can serve the following goals: -To encourage tolerance, dialog, and civilized respect for different lifestyles and perspectives in this community -To see that justice is done through the legal system -To discourage violence and prevent acts of retaliation -To actually support the victims of this crime.
