Reaffirming Community

Like many Americans I was shocked, horrified, and saddened by the violent events that unfolded yesterday on Capitol Hill. The painful impact of what transpired will require deep investigation and reflection lasting well beyond this week, and I hope we collectively take the time to do so. Our country has long been touted for its democracy and shared values, and it’s now as important as ever for us to reaffirm those values and our commitment to supporting and sustaining our communities through compassion and empathy. 

I am thankful to be working with colleagues and partners who have been tirelessly advocating on behalf of their constituents with an endless amount of such compassion. From mitigating the impacts of food insecurity to empowering those who are disenfranchised, we are fortunate to be in the company of selfless individuals doing their part to make our communities stronger. Masks alone don’t provide security or solace from everything going on, but it’s a small gesture to promote health and safety in our communities. From all of us at Masks4Missions, thank you for recognizing and joining us in these efforts.
