President and CEO Lisa Rice released the following statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">\u201cWe are deeply saddened that on the same day thousands gathered in the nation\u2019s capital to mark the 60<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary of the civil rights movement\u2019s iconic March on Washington, yet another attack on Black Americans occurred in this country. Our prayers go out to the families of the victims and the entire Jacksonville community. All people should feel safe in their communities and be able to move freely without the fear of racist violence. It is unconscionable that these acts of domestic terrorism continue to happen all too often, whether in Buffalo, Charleston, or now Jacksonville. These events highlight the unfinished work needed to address racial inequalities and injustices. They make it abundantly clear that we do not live in a post racial society, Black Lives do matter, and Congress must take swift action to end the scourge of racism and gun violence in our society. These acts also reveal how lies, manipulation, and obfuscating the truth breed senseless and reckless violence. NFHA is committed to amplifying and speaking truth to power, even in the face of efforts by national figures to mislead the public about slavery, racism, xenophobia, discrimination, and our nation\u2019s full history. It is past time for this country to come together to stamp out the hatred that targets innocent people, traumatizes communities, and debilitates our society. Our failure to do so will be at our own peril.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/protect-us.mimecast.com\/s\/OgnyCrkN6pi8VLAT7O9QY\"><em><strong>The National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA)<\/strong><\/em><\/a> <em>is the country\u2019s only national civil rights organization dedicated solely to eliminating all forms of housing and lending discrimination and ensuring equal opportunities for all people.
