Russia’s Internet Research Agency hosts a candlelight vigil in remembrance of the victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting. The Orlando, Florida event is organized using an Agency group on Facebook called LGBT United.
At least 22 of the 60 events actually took place, such as a May 2016 protest of an Islamic center in Houston planned by “Heart of Texas”, a Russia-created page that supported Texas secession and posted the “Blue Lives Matter” rally in Dallas two months later. On June 25, 2016, following the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla, “LGBT United” organized a candlelight vigil, where one of the victim’s brothers spoke. Both were covered by local media and attracted a dozen or more attendees.

The event includes support from Florida radio stations.
As Federal authorities continue to investigate the mass shootings at an Orlando, Florida nightclub many in the US are continuing to work through their grief, shock and anger. On Saturday June 25th Rockland United for Change will host a Candlelight Vigil in Spring Valley from 7-9 p.m. at 1 Veterans Drive sponsored by WRCR, Relax FM, Model Radio, and Kreyol FM.
