At a time of the year when many communities gather to celebrate different holidays and observances of faith, we are saddened and heartbroken by the violent events that have occurred in Bondi Beach, Sidney, Australia, and the recent shooting at Brown University Campus in New York.
We recognize that social, racial and economic injustices persist in our community and in the world and appreciate our unique role as servant leaders and bridge builders to address the root causes of these systemic issues.
The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC) expresses sympathies and condolences to all affected directly and indirectly by these violent acts.
We stand united and in solidarity with both the Jewish community and the Brown University Campus community against these events.
The Foundation for Enhancing Communities stands against antisemitism, religious violence, racism, bigotry and hate.
We condemn any act of extremism against all communities, both domestically and abroad.
We remain committed to speaking out against hatred and ensuring everyone has a voice.
TFEC reinforces our values of inclusion, stewardship, endurance and integrity as we continue to do important work serving our local and regional communities.
Let us lead by example as we champion the very initiatives that bring us together in our communities and ensure that work continues to uplift all whom we serve.
