Dear NAACP Family,

Our community knows too much about tragedy, and once again, our nation is mired in it. The shooting of two students at a Colorado College and a conservative thought leader in Utah is just the latest. The assassination of the Minnesota Speaker of the House and her husband occurred just a couple of months ago. The African American community, too has been a victim of such tragedy, so we can understand the pain that many others are going through when it impacts them.

Today a number of individuals are getting caught up in the discussions regarding some of these shootings in ways that are causing them serious harm. Some individuals have posted or otherwise made comments on social media or elsewhere that have led to them, rightly or wrongly depending on the individual circumstance, to have been terminated or threatened with termination from jobs, charged with crimes, or threatened with school discipline or even expulsion. Conservative groups are poised and looking for an opportunity to do harm to those who do not share their beliefs, so we encourage you not to engage in public discussions that might give them the opportunity to cause harm to you. It is important for you to maintain your employment or educational status and not try to take on the system or even this group that seeks to do you harm.

Our position is that all lives are valuable and we strongly oppose the violent taking of any human life when it is not done to protect one’s life or that of another. It is our hope that recent events may open the eyes of many about the need for people of divergent views and backgrounds to join together for their mutual interest. We will be trying very hard to make that happen.

Thank you for doing what you do. NAACPers are among the world’s finest because you are volunteers who seek to help others. Thank you.

Thank you,

Gary L. Bledsoe, Esq., President
