Statement on the Tragedy at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh
(Washington, DC) Today, Mayor Bowser released the following statement regarding the tragedy at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh:
“Today, our hearts are with the Jewish communities throughout the nation and our friends in Pittsburgh. As we learn more about this attack, we reiterate: ignorance and hate have no place in our society. An attack on one community is an attack on all of us and on the ideals we stand for and fight for every day.
“I have ordered a police presence at synagogues in the District and we will be reaching out to faith leaders to offer our support and guidance.
“In the face of hate, we stand united to love.”
