MASS SHOOTING AT CLUB Q IN COLORADO SPRINGS
Beloved Members of the Iliff Community:
Last night another tragic shooting targeting members of the LGBTQIA+ community took place this time in nearby Colorado Springs. More information is still coming in. Together we grieve this senseless loss of life and acknowledge the lasting trauma that so many are left to live with. Again, we are reminded that a culture of hate exists and is reinforced by policies of exclusion from religious authorities, political officials, and flagrant ignorance all of which creates an environment where individuals feel empowered to act out violence against the queer community. Iliff is committed to exposing the sources and realities of this hate. At all times, and particularly in this moment, let us be a community that stands in contrast to the outcomes of hate. Together, we live courageous love.
