Run for FSU #FSUStrong
Calling all FSU alumni, supporters, runners, etc. who want to support our community after the devastating shooting that happened April 17th. Let’s come together as one #Unconquered and run/jog/walk in solidarity for the current students and staff and for ourselves. Let’s join to mourn the lives lost and the lives forever changed AND show DC and all its residents, politicians, Congresspersons, and more that once a Nole, always a Nole. We’ll start at the Ellipse, go past the Supreme Court and end on Capitol Hill. Wear your FSU gear. Thank you in advance for your support!
****Please Note: This is a peaceful standing of solidarity, not a protest. Be mindful of the grieving many of us will be going through and the various emotions people may be feeling. Many people may be nervous to be in crowds, so no loud objects. Be mindful, kind, and supportive of others. All are welcome regardless of race, ethnicit, gender, sex, religion, ability, etc. We start together and we end together.
