"We light a candle of sorrow and anger for the death of Corey Ruiz this past week here in Madison. We mourn the continued use of violence in our community and send our love to all who are grieving and raging and questioning why we are here once again, and why this violence continues to prevail in our city.
May all who love Corey be surrounded by care and love and may all who are concerned for their safety, our Black, brown, immigrant, and transgender neighbors, feel secure and loved. May we all learn to be a little more tender with each other. May we learn to care for our community, and may we all come to know both
justice and peace."
-Rev. Kelly Crocker
