When guns are are involved in a hate crime, they make threats more credible and empower hate-filled individuals to make fatal decisions. #DisarmHate
When hate comes armed, it can be deadly. From Pulse, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Orlando, to a historic African-American church in Charleston, to a bar in Kansas, the common factor is that it is too easy for hateful people to get guns in our country. We must do more to #DisarmHate.
On June 17, 2015, a white supremacist opened fire during a prayer service at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC, killing the church’s pastor and eight worshippers. Today we remember the victims, hold their loved ones in our hearts, and renew our commitment to #DisarmHate.
We must work to #DisarmHate that is driven by prejudice against race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, gender or gender identity, or other core parts of a person’s identity.
