We offer our deepest condolences to the Tree of Life congregation and the entire Jewish community. We, like so many others, are heartbroken by this horrific and senseless act of violence.
Literacy Pittsburgh’s vision and values embody a commitment to a diverse community driven by respect and inclusion. We strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment for our students, our volunteers, our staff, our partners and our entire community. We will continue to do so as our city heals.
One of the most beautiful aspects of Pittsburgh is our sense of community. We help one another. We support one another. We lean on one another. We see this every day in our work. This is the spirit of Pittsburgh, and we are confident that this spirit will prevail over hate.
