To Our Beloved Community,

 

Navigating all this grief and fear and anger and sadness isn’t easy. However you’re feeling right now, your feelings are valid.

 

But remember that you are loved. You are valued. You belong here.

 

Hold your community tight, and let them hold you too. We must continue to take care of ourselves and each other.

 

For anyone struggling, you are not alone.
