The Leichtag Foundation is heartbroken for our fellow Muslim community members, the Islamic Center of San Diego, the victims of this horrific act of violence, their families, and all those carrying unimaginable grief and fear in its wake. We stand with our friends in the Muslim community, including the nonprofit leaders we have worked alongside over the years who strengthen and care for the San Diego community.
We are deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers, first responders, security personnel, civic leaders, and interfaith partners who responded with care and urgency, and we remain in close coordination with community and security leaders.
May the memories of those we lost be a blessing, and may we honor them through solidarity, partnership, and continuing to stand against hate.
