On Friday night in Augusta—where community members prayed for Charlie Kirk’s family after his shooting at Utah Valley University—and in Bangor and Portland, hundreds gathered in peaceful vigils to denounce political violence and unite the community.

An organizer said the events aimed to help people come together through shared faith and respectful debate.
