'It's past time to say enough of the senseless killings.'
It’s impossible not to feel the heavy weight of recent events across our nation – with Americans murdered while shopping at a Buffalo supermarket, while attending a Taiwanese Presbyterian church in Laguna Woods, and yesterday at an elementary school in Uvalde."In each event, lives were tragically taken in the course of everyday living ... we have seen far too much tragedy," Nelson wrote in his thread about the shootings.
Nelson noted that Tuesday also marked the two-year anniversary of George Floyd's death. Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, was killed in police custody on May 25, 2020 after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for more than nine minutes,"We must act — for accountability, for justice. For change, for progress. For our children and our fellow Americans. It’s past time to say enough of the senseless killings," Nelson wrote.
