On behalf of the Muslim Community of Folsom (MCF), we write to express love for, solidarity with and commitment to our Black brothers and sisters, especially Black families who have lost loved ones to acts of violence. We are heartbroken over the recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Steven Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and Yassin Mohamed. They are simply the latest in a long line of Black men and women struck down, in some cases by those who were sworn to serve and protect... them. As a community organization dedicated to harnessing our values in service to our society, MCF recognizes that justice for all people in America cannot come to fruition without an unwavering and unapologetic commitment to achieving justice for Black Americans. Justice is a central tenant in Islam. That includes an honest acknowledgment of entrenched anti-Blackness within our society. To that end, MCF condemns all forms of anti-Black violence, whether the culprits are police officers like Derek Chauvin in Minnesota or civilians like Gregory and Travis McMichael in Georgia. We also unequivocally condemn the dehumanization of Blackness, whether it occurs inside or outside our community.
Had the privilege to meet with two top notch Folsom High School students who are putting together a HUGE fundraiser, benefiting the Leukemia & Cancer society ...called the Red & Black Diner Gala on March 27th.
