Folks: Our nation is grieving. Across the country, our neighbors, our friends, our family, are coming together under this common pain to demand an end to systemic racism and the injustice it feeds.

The Constitution states that we are created equal -- but that cannot be the case when Black men and women are being killed at an alarming rate. It's why supporting our local chapters of the NAACP is extremely important, now more than ever.

On Saturday, I reached out about giving to the NAACP Detroit Branch and now I'm asking again because we cannot sit silently as our community is aching. So I'm asking, friend -- if you can afford to, please donate to support the critical work of the NAACP Detroit Branch today.

----Forwarded message----

For the past five days, we've awoken to more news about the terrible and avoidable tragedy that was the murder of George Floyd.

And across the country -- from Minneapolis to Louisville to Detroit -- the pain and heartbreak are palpable. This senseless and indefensible death has shocked our nation. Simply put, this should never have happened, and George Floyd should still be alive.

We must not forget the names of those whose lives have been needlessly cut short, and we must face the grim reality that our work to make America fulfill her promise of equality and justice for all is far from over.

I've dedicated my life in service to Michigan and its people -- and right now, so many Michiganders are in pain. When faced with adversity, our leaders must rise to the occasion. I'm speaking with our community leaders, listening and acknowledging how we must work together to heal as a nation as we grieve with hope.

Our communities are hurting.
Our neighbors are hurting.
Our families are hurting.
No more.

To those of you who are finding the news especially troubling and are scared for what is to come, know that you are not alone. We must take the fear; the anger; the pain and channel it into seeking justice. We must continue to honor their lives and fight to end this violence. We must unite together to encourage understanding and compassion for our fellow Americans.

If you can, please, join me in donating to the NAACP Detroit Branch to help our community. Contribute whatever you can to ensure they have the funds needed to continue their important work.
