Chapel Hill Shooting Shows We Need End To Islamophobia
When we first learned of the murders of Deah Shaddy Barakat, Yosor Mohammad, and Raszan Mohammad Abu-Salha, we felt a heartbreaking sense of loss. From Chapel Hill across the United States, to the members of the international community we've met over the last several weeks, the human family is hurting.
In this moment, we extend our arms from Ferguson to embrace the hands of every person in this beloved community. With prayers and good vibes for the family and friends who are grieving, as well as all people who are suffering from dehumanizing violence.
We are in this struggle together.
As a team of people who are striving to create a world where we deal with harm in our communities through healing, love and kinship, this tragedy presents an opportunity for all of us to come to terms with the trauma of the present day, our historic past and to find true reconciliation. Together we must build a more just, peaceful and compassionate America.
