The offices of Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical magazine, came under attack Wednesday, leaving 12 dead. In the aftermath, people of Paris, and others from around the world, took to social media to show support for the slain men and their fight for freedom of expression with the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie.

On Facebook, a Je Suis Charlie page has more than 173,000 likes and has been used to organize events (pictured above) in France to remember the victims of the tragic attack. The page is also host to numerous tributes and memes that pay respect to the late cartoonists.
