[asia-apec 1800] As We Grieve Let's Not Forget That Violence Begets More Violence

[Anuradha Mittal]

Food First/The Institute for Food and Development 
Policy extends deepest condolences to those who 
lost family and loved ones in the terrible events 
of yesterday, and condemns the use of violence 
against innocent civilians.

We want to remind ourselves and the national leaders, 
that retaliation with violence will only beget more 
violence. As we mourn, we urge everyone to 
remember that scapegoating a community, will only 
lead to more hatred and prejudice. We must not 
unleash violence on certain communities inside or 
outside of the USA to seek revenge for acts of few.

As a social justice group, working for human rights 
around the world, Food First pledges renewed efforts 
to work towards peace, social and economic justice 
around the world. This is the only way to heal and 
end this cycle of mindless acts of violence.
