Pride At Work Statement on the Hate-Motivated Murder of 2 Men Outside a Tucson Gay Bar
Pride At Work and 2SLGBTQIA+ union members across the country stand in solidarity with the Tucson and Arizona queer community as they grapple with the devastating murder of Vincent Siqueiros and Cameron Capara. These beloved men were targeted simply because they were outside a gay bar. Our hearts go out to Vinny and Cam’s family and friends, who should not have to grieve this loss and injustice.
No one should have to live in fear or danger because of who we love or who we are. We all deserve the freedom to live and work as our true selves, and move through the world with safety and respect.
