I have to be honest, the term is kinda stupid. I mean, I get the sentiment. They want to honor people who have died because of systemic oppression or aggression from racists.

But Power is not a resting state. It's like saying "Relax in High Energy." If they're going to change the P to Power, they need to change the R to something other than Rest. Like, maybe they could be "Remembered in Power."
