It's not enough to be heartbroken. Here's something to do after the terrorist attacks in New Zealand:

Friend, a white supremacist attacked two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand this week, [killing 49 Muslims]( and forever altering their families, their communities, and their houses of worship. People are so afraid, so terrorized, that they are afraid to sit in prayer together. Muslims in New Zealand were advised to skip communal prayer on Friday--the Muslim holy day. Today I mourned with my Muslim friends, and I heard one message from them loud and clear: our thoughts and prayers—even our heartfelt condolences and best wishes—are not enough right now. We must act. [Please chip in $5 right now to show your solidarity.

In the U.S. it's easy to point to Trump's Muslim ban, but everything from the bipartisan zeal to make someone—anyone—pay after 9/11, to the swift public shaming of Muslim Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar demonstrate that U.S. Islamophobia has no party loyalty. Some of the worst atrocities in the so-called War on Terror happened during the Obama administration. Politicians across the political spectrum invoke "Good Muslim/Bad Muslim" narratives in debates about the Muslim ban and who deserves entry to the U.S. This dehumanizing rhetoric contributes to an anti-Islam culture that makes Muslims the targets of physical violence and discriminatory policy. We have to do everything in our power to end our complicity—intentional or unintentional—with anti-Muslim terror. [Please chip in $5 right now to show your solidarity.
