Memorial Day is a chance for us to pause as a community and recognize the extraordinary individuals whose bravery and commitment shaped the freedoms and rights we treasure today.

Honoring them is about choosing, every day, to stand up for the same values they believed were worth the ultimate sacrifice: fairness, justice, and dignity for all.

NAACP Statement of Support and Solidarity with the Islamic Center of San Diego

We are absolutely heartbroken and horrified by the tragic and senseless attack today at the Islamic Center of San Diego. We extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims, and stand in solidarity with the Muslim community’s right to live and worship in a hate-free environment. Places of worship must always remain safe sanctuaries for peace, reflection, and community and no one should ever have to practice their faith in fear of violence or bigotry.  

We strongly condemn this act of violence and stand firmly against Islamophobia and all forms of hate in our communities. Senseless violence and hatred should never be normalized or accepted. An attack on the rights of any one person or group is an attack on all of us. We are also grateful for the first responders and other providers for taking immediate action to ensure everyone's safety and well-being.

The NAACP stands together, supporting those who are grieving, and ensuring that love, unity, and respect triumph over hate. We stand with the impacted students, staff, and others connected to the Islamic Center of San Diego. Together we must ensure that all children have safe spaces to learn, grow, and thrive without fear of gun violence or any other type of harmful behavior or exposure.

Attacks on fair representation are happening right now. Legislatures are rushing to redraw maps and silence the political voice of Black communities across the country.

This moment demands organized action and collective power.

Join us on Thursday, May 14, as we break down the immediate threats to our vote and learn more about how we can fight back. https://naacp.org/events/all-units-call-redistricting-next-steps
