Racial Unity Now (RUN) expresses deep sorrow over the racially motivated attack on an 11-year-old Bellingham student during a school field trip.
We are shocked and heartbroken by this act of hatred. This incident highlights the urgent need for all of us to promote racial understanding and unity.
We will be supporting efforts to help the victim, their family, and partners working as information becomes available and will update racialunitynow.org/support accordingly.
RUN calls on the community to join us in creating change.
