The action last week by the conservative justices of the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the national ban on abortion is not based on law or the Constitution but is based on politics. It is disgusting, and our community is hurt by this decision.

This action represents the ability for this court to use their legal rationale to take away other rights such as gay marriage. It is clear, that this is part of a larger agenda by the right wing.

Please know that you are not alone in your anger and sadness regarding the court's decision. In the end, we have much to do for equality and justice.

We can and we will work together to strengthen our freedoms that are provided under our Constitution.

 

Sincerely, 

Richard Zaldivar

The world is much more dangerous today.

Russia has invaded Ukraine and has violated international order. An attack against innocent people is an attack against each of us.

The Russian leader needs to be held accountable for his actions. No dictator should have the right to enter another country to kill them or to control their freedoms.

As the world watches in shock in the developments on television, we invite you to join the membership of The Wall Las Memorias in praying for the people of Ukraine and the leaders of the free world to work for peace and resolve.

In addition to prayer, you can also make donations to the many charities of Ukraine to help support the people in need.

Let us send our love, support and prayer as we stand with Ukraine.

 

Sincerely, 

Richard Zaldivar

TWLM Executive Director
