Once again, we mourn the deaths of all whose lives have been cut short by violence and hatred. For all who survive to carry the wounds, we pray for healing and recovery.
The traumas are relentless and overwhelming. We need to grieve; yet we can't afford to be paralyzed by rage, numbness or despair. No matter how heartbreaking the situation, there are always real, practical options for sharing our time and money, for bringing people together across differences to affirm our shared humanity.
As we struggle to find words that can bring us together, there is power in compassionate presence and tangible actions like these:
-
Join our renewed interfaith vigil to honor the dead and bear witness to the suffering of the living.
-
The life-saving practices of just-giving — simple, flexible, and fair — have never been more urgent. Join us as we put just-giving into action!
In our commitment to just-giving, WAYS OF PEACE contributes at least 10 percent of net staff compensation forward to other organizations that renew justice and kindness across lines of diversity.
