A resolution to condemn the racially-motivated violence that took place in Buffalo, New York and all racially-motivated violence.

Whereas, On Saturday, May 14, 2022 a shooter, likely motivated by racist ideology, murdered ten people and injured three people in a shooting that took place in a grocery store in Buffalo, New York. This shooting is just one of many violent acts that mark the rise of racially-motivated violence in our communities; and

Whereas, Racially-motivated violence is antithetical to our values as Michiganders and Americans. As leaders, it is our duty to call out bigotry and violence; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we condemn the racially-motivated violence that took place in Buffalo, New York; and be it further

Resolved, That we condemn all racially-motivated violence; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor of the State of Michigan.
