DENVER, CO - The NASW Colorado Chapter is
devastated by the horrific act of violence that occurred at Club Q on
Saturday night. Our hearts are broken, and we are mourning this
senseless loss of lives alongside the LGBTQIA2S+ and Colorado Springs
communities today.
We are committed to supporting these communities through their grieving
process, and we stand with the LGBTQIA2S+ community on this Transgender
Day of Remembrance, offering our love and recognition of the
overwhelming losses this community continues to endure.
We call on leaders in Colorado and nationally to step up and do more to
protect the LGBTQIA2S+ community from the discrimination, hate, and
violence that threatens their wellbeing and safety daily, and fuels
continued acts of violence that too often end in the preventable loss of
lives.
