Dear Friend, I am writing to you today from Buffalo, where our community is in shock. In shock because ten of our siblings were gunned down as they went about the ordinary task of buying groceries for their families. In shock because, once again, white supremacist violence has resulted in the senseless murder of Black people. And in shock because this country refuses to invest in proven solutions to end gun violence. As a result, our community and allies across the nation are in mourning. I live and have worked in this community for years, faithfully bringing forth social justice and equity in the Buffalo region through organized, collective action. Right now, we are on the ground, ministering to families, ensuring people have access to food, mental health counseling, and preparing for the collective grieving and healing process that lies ahead. But we need your help. Please donate to support the Faith in Action affiliate, VOICE Buffalo, right now. We are providing immediate support to our grieving community, as well as demanding our leaders provide trauma-informed solutions to gun violence and white supremacist violence. |
