Responding to Racist Attack at Buffalo Supermarket
Again, we find ourselves mourning the loss of beloved Black sisters picking up groceries, parents picking up a birthday cake, a deacon offering transportation to his neighbors. We learn the names and lives of these strangers in Buffalo through another racially targeted mass shooting by a white man. This marks the 198th mass shooting less than six months into 2022.
We make the same demands again and again: Keep guns out of dangerous hands. Make automatic weapons and high capacity ammunition inaccessible. Protect students and children. Keep us safe in a country where firearms exist.
We continue to urge legislators create more policies around gun safety knowing it is a long, uphill battle, for us, those around us, and those who can no longer make the same demands.
