The foundation's primary focus is on developing and constructing the Tucson January 8 Permanent Memorial. This memorial aims to be a space for reflection and remembrance, a place for citizens to exercise their rights, and a tribute to those who lost their lives in the pursuit of a better democracy. The foundation's core principles emphasize community engagement, remembrance, and the importance of civic participation.
