The Hotel Congress has darkened its iconic sign out of respect for the lives taken in the recent Uvalde shooting. Since 21 lives were lost, the hotel has decided to leave the lights off for 21 days.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The owners of Hotel Congress have darkened their iconic sign out of respect for the lives taken in the recent Uvalde shooting.This is a first for the hotel.You may or may not have noticed that our iconic rooftop Hotel Congress neon sign has been off the last 14 days. We should probably explain.
We've never purposely darkened our sign, but the recent tragedy in Texas compelled us to do something - so we decided to go dark for 21 days, in honor of the victims, in our small way. The disheartening realization that the very people we elect to protect us cannot pass the most basic, common sense legislation to protect their constituents, who overwhelmingly support such regulation, exacerbates the helplessness so many of us feel. This inaction is not about the second amendment. It’s about money, power, and politics.
We hope our small gesture resonates with you, and we hope we all can find and advocate for real action and a positive path forward.
