It was called Heal Stockton, where Stockton residents and nonprofits met to grieve, heal, and process the tragedy that struck families in the city they love.
A common theme throughout the night was hugs, healing, and having safe spaces to talk through the trauma.
It was hosted by Victory in Praise Church at their community development center. Lillana Fortier-Brigham is a middle school teacher and the church's drama director.
There were members of the medical community, suicide prevention, counseling groups, therapy dogs, Stockton's Office of Violence Prevention, and a Stockton youth sports program, Turlock Sports Park.
Cleveland Remembers volunteers were giving away gun locks and helping community members craft 'soul boxes', origami boxes made in memory of people killed by gun violence, including the three precious children killed in their city.
Jarvis said Cleveland School Remembers is pushing for a local law that would not allow police to buy guns from dealers who have a bad record of selling to people who shouldn't have guns.
"As a community, I'd like to think this is our George Floyd moment where we like put our foot down," Hampton said. "We've had enough. And I'd like to see some changes come from the tragedy. My heart goes out to the family of the kids and I just pray it never happens again."
"My thoughts on that are that people are not coming forward with information that some of them have," Jarvis said. "And I think that they are terrified that they will become a victim of gun violence if they speak up and give information to the sheriff. It's a very difficult position that law enforcement is in, trying to solve this and I hope with having the FBI involved and the Stockton Police Department helping the county sheriff that they'll be able to resolve this but it's obviously not going to happen quickly."
"We shouldn't be scared to come out of our houses and have birthday parties for our children," Hampton said. "A few people shouldn't spoil that for us. I believe, as a community, we have to be more vigilant. If you know something, say something. Don't be afraid."
"What I think is true is that the courage that it takes for the people who know to step forward and to say what happened is what is needed. You can be a part of that justice," Fortier-Brigham said. "If you know what happened and you know where this came from and you know how it occurred, step forward. And speak the truth. And free yourself from holding that secret. And that way, all of those families' lives can be impacted for the better because they want to know what happened to their babies. They want to know what happened to the young people that just came for a birthday party."
