An injustice to one person is injustice to all, and our hearts break as we grieve with our brothers and sisters over inequality, injustice, intolerance and racism. Like yours, our grief is profound. Like you, we are hurt, angry and outraged.

Our country’s pain is deep. We stand against people and institutions that practice or tolerate racism, and those that practice violence and destruction. We stand with people who are instruments of peace, justice, reconciliation and healing.
