I WillLightACandleToo Campaign and Virtual First Anniversary Commemorations

The first anniversary commemoration was a deeply impactful 20-hour virtual event that combined remembrance with advocacy for justice. Through a live-streamed global memorial, families and supporters honored the victims with personal tributes, biographies, and artistic performances, ensuring their stories were never forgotten. The Toronto rally, where 176 family members walked in memory of the 176 victims, transformed grief into action, reinforcing the call for accountability. Rallies also took place throughout Iran. By uniting people worldwide through digital and in-person participation, this event fostered solidarity, raised awareness, and strengthened the fight for truth and justice.
