Here are the victims of the racist massacre

We condemn the racist massacre in Buffalo New York that resulted in the tragic loss of 10 human beings. Our hearts go out to their loved ones and communities. May we all continue to move forward each and every day challenging the root causes of the deeply embedded structural and cultural racism that permeate our society. So much more work to be done.
