David, today marks one year since
the horrific shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. This
antisemitic act of terror left 11 dead and shook our country to its core.
It was an act that manifested from conspiracy theories and xenophobia. It was the product of a moment in our country when hate has been exacerbated by the words of some of our leaders. And it was made possible because the shooter had access to a semi-automatic weapon.
So as we reflect and try to heal one year later, we need to have hard conversations on ways to end gun violence, and how violent hate can take hold in individuals.
Today, I stand in solidarity with the people of Pittsburgh and Jewish communities around the world. I remain vigilant against antisemitism, and will call out hate in all its forms.
Thank you,
Jennifer
