## Resource

A hauntingly beautiful quilt, born from tragedy and stitched with grief, now bears over a thousand names of victims lost to gun violence since 1994. Weaving together sorrow and solidarity, this 100-foot, hundreds-of-pounds masterpiece was created by Sidney Brodie, who adds names within hours of their discovery — a relentless, emotional labor that has shaped his life. Displayed at vigils and churches, including The River Church, the quilt becomes a sacred space for healing and remembrance. As it prepares to retire in October 2027, Brodie pleads for a successor — hoping one day this memorial won’t be needed, but knowing the fight against violence is far from over.
