Rising Voices Statement: Michigan State University Shooting

Our hearts are broken today.

We are grieving the three lives lost in last night’s shooting at MSU and we are praying for those injured as they recover. We are sending love to families of the victims and the Spartan community.

Students deserve to go to school without fear of being caught in a mass shooting. Rising Voices calls on our elected officials to take swift action to prevent another act of senseless gun violence from terrorizing and traumatizing our communities again.

We have compiled a list of resources for those in need of support at this time, including culturally competent and accessible mental health services. Together, our loved ones and communities can find solace, safety, and a pathway to healing.
