Gun violence: Stop perpetuating racist myths in West Louisville

Louisville needs prayer.

In the last 48 hours, gun violence has ended four lives and dramatically changed countless others. 

Eleven shootings in two days.

We must seek solutions, but as we come together to find answers, let’s steer away from racist narratives that paint a negative picture of our most vulnerable neighbors.

Anytime our city loses someone to senseless gun violence, the victim and his or her family deserve our full attention — not as statistics, not as political ploys, not as criminals, but as human beings. It shouldn’t matter what neighborhood they are from.
