We remember them by name.
ParentsPlea is a living memorial and archive for the parents and children who have lost loved ones to corporate greed, social injustice, police brutality, and the wars of our time.
Behind every number is a life that mattered.
ParentsPlea began with a simple refusal: to let the people lost to violence and injustice be reduced to statistics. Every day, names vanish into headlines and death tolls. We give them back their names.
Today the archive holds more than 142,000 records - each one researched, sourced, and told with care, so that families can point to a permanent place and say: they were here, they mattered, and they are not forgotten.

A word from our founder
A brief personal introduction.
To honour the lost, support the grieving, and demand accountability.
We exist so that no life lost to injustice is forgotten.
We gather names, stories, and sources into a single dignified record; we stand with grieving families; and we turn remembrance into a call for truth, protection, and justice.
