A rally Sunday at noon during Denver’s weekend PrideFest will honor the victims of the Orlando, Fla., massacre and will be led by Gov. John Hickenlooper.

At Civic Center park, PrideFest attendees are invited to come together in an effort to “ensure a tragedy like this does not happen again,” according to a One Colorado news release.

Other Colorado elected officials, including state Sens. Kerry Donovan and Matt Jones, faith leaders and representatives of community organizations will be in attendance.
