🕊️ Belief must never become a target.
No person should fear harassment, persecution, or violence because of a religion they practice, a belief they hold, a faith they change, or a decision not to follow a religion.
EOC of Suffolk remembers those who have been attacked and killed because of religion or belief and affirms the dignity, safety, and freedom of every human being.
