Rise Above Hate

On August 3, 2019 the El Paso, Texas, U.S./Mexico border and broader Latinx community was forever impacted. A mass shooting resulted in the murder of 23 individuals, the injury of dozens, and the stripping away of a peace embodied by one of America’s safest cities. The massacre was the largest slaughter of Latinxs by gunfire in a domestic hate-based incident in modern history.

One year after El Paso, we come together in solidarity: to mourn as a nation; to fight against the evil that is racism and white nationalism; to build bridges with our migrant family and honor our immigrant heritage; to acknowledge the intersectionality between race, criminal justice reform, gun violence prevention and voting; and lastly, to celebrate the communities that hatred has tried to silence.

We join the El Paso community to remember those lost to violence and hate. In their memory we show our #LoveForElPaso, fighting for a brighter future. Luchamos juntos por un futuro mejor. Register to vote and make your voice heard.
