Val Torrens, Chair, 23rd Legislative District Democrats

Hi all,

I've struggled with what, if anything, I should say about what has happened recently regarding the nationwide response to the murder of George Floyd. I do not feel that I can keep silent. What is below is from one of our rabbis in Reform Judaism and expresses my thoughts and feelings about this better than I could. I hope no one is offended that it is from a religious leader but I believe it is fundamentally secular in nature. 

May their memories be for a blessing,

Val
