We take this moment to honor their lives and, in their memory, resolve:

- to promote tolerance in our communities, our Commonwealth, and our society; and
- to take action to keep our institutions, our homes, and our houses of worship safe and secure.
Sincerely,
Gary Bernstein
Chief Executive Officer
