In Solidarity with Charlottesville
This Sunday, August 20th
"If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention."
We are touched by the tragedy that occurred in Charlottesville last week. A memorial service was held on Wednesday for Heather Heyer, the victim of the terrorist hate crime. Members of the Charlottesville community were asked to wear purple, Heather's favorite color, to demonstrate solidarity with the meaning of her life.
We ask that members and friends wear purple to the Service on August 20. In addition we will distribute purple ribbons to everyone in solidarity with Heather Heyer and the other victims of the Charlottesville tragedy.
