Rashida Tlaib: “We have not been able to get a gun violence prevention bill passed because we don't have the same basic compassion once…”

People of all faiths and of all backgrounds belong, and deserve to practice their religion and celebrate their cultures freely without fear.

More leaders, including local elected officials, must speak out, especially against the local instigators participating in the spread of hatred under the guise of faith.

Our families do not deserve to be subjected to such hate and bigotry.

Their silence is complacent and normalizes fearmongering and racism. We know that targeting any community doesn’t allow any of us to be safe.
