Yesterday, members of our community joined friends and interfaith partners at Islamic Center of Southern California to stand in solidarity with our Muslim neighbors following the tragic shooting in San Diego.
We wish we did not have to gather under these circumstances. Yet time and again, in the face of hatred and violence, we witness something extraordinary: communities responding not with hatred, but with faith, compassion, and care for one another.
Our Muslim friends, colleagues, and partners are an essential part of the fabric of our interfaith community. They are people we learn from, laugh with, work alongside, and cherish. Their friendship makes us better.
As we continue to grieve with those affected by this tragedy, we reaffirm our commitment to standing against Islamophobia and all forms of hate. We will continue showing up for one another, not only in moments of crisis, but in the daily work of building understanding, belonging, and peace.
This violence must end. Until it does, we will continue to stand together. 💙
