My Dearest Dearest Dearest Friends and Fellow Supporters all over the world and especially here in The United States
Tonight...as I write to you...from my room...a great sorrowful burden is upon my heart.
I write with sincere emotion and with absolute grief. I am writing this letter sick and pale of many griefs. The tragic news of 8 innocent people who's lives were lost in Georgia yesterday by a man who's actions, though law enforcement will not yet say it, is being labeled in the eyes of society as a hate crime. My heart aches deeply and my thoughts and my prayers are with the family and friends of those who's lives were lost by such a monster. The 6 citizens among the 8 who's lives were lost, were indeed of Asian-American nationality. This is NOT the first time we have seen such hatred in our country for a nationality that is different than ours. For many decades and centuries, we have seen this kind of bigotry and especially this kind of prejudice and stereotyping of nationalities making people feel small, weak, and shunned. But lately, because of Covid-19, the Asian American community has become a random target of such violence and hatred and vandalism. In fact, the amount of crimes against those who are of Asian American nationality, and the statistics are just too shocking and beyond the comprehension.
But...this kind of hate and anger and bullying and more has MADE ME MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER to clearly make Bullying and Bullycide against any person, especially our youth based on nationality, religion, sexual preference and more ILLEGAL and punishable according the laws around the world. I am aware how serious this matter has become. And I am reminded of the words of the great Civil Rights leader of all time, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his famous 1963 speech "I have a dream" in which he stated:
"Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy; now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice; now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand's of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood; now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment."
MY FRIENDS....THE MESSAGE IS LOUD AND SIMPLY CLEAR:
BULLYING AGAINST ANY PERSON REGARDLESS OF NATIONALITY AND MORE IS NOT JUST A VIOLATION OF THEIR RIGHT TO LIVE A HAPPY, FULL, RICH, LIFE....IT IS A VIOLATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS UPON OUR EARTH!
For NEARLY a decade I have been fighting to get this petition on Change.org around the world for all of you to join my cause. It has NOT CHANGED one bit, and I am making a EVER MORE BIGGER APPEAL to you...now...more than ever to realize that it would be ABSOLUTELY FATAL for the world to overlook the URGENCY of the moment INDEED.
To those who have supported my petition in the past...I thank you over and over and over again from the bottom of my heart and ask that you please continue to spread this message to all who have NOT YET heard about our campaign! To those who have not yet heard about our mission, I encourage you to please read the information when you click on the link to my petition or search it in your social media sites and realize, that what I have been doing IS TOTALLY REAL, it is NOT A FAKE campaign!
THIS PETITION...if one billion of us sign it...will be, IF NOT, THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT LIVING TESTAMENT that we all can make a difference, but only if we put our heart and souls into it and our sweat, toil and tears. I cannot say it ENOUGH: "I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT DO THIS ALONE!"
I am asking you please to join the fight now more than ever with a positive heart and spirit to help end the nightmare of bullying/bullycide because hate crimes can start with bullying in school and on social media and it can lead to disastrously nightmarish results. The first thing you can do is to share this petition on your social media pages (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, Whatsapp, Reddit, etc.) and explain why this petition means so much to me and to all around the world. If we can get one person at a time to support this petition by signing it , it would mean so much a life being saved. Also, this campaign can be helped spread further financially, so if you want to make a sincere contribution to the campaign as well to make the message go farther, it would mean a great deal to Change.org as well.
My friends and fellow supporters, let the lives of the 8 who were lost in georgia and the lives of all the young people who suffer in silence tonight because of bullying/bullycide be not in vain for #HateIsAVirus and there one remedy and cure: L O V E for LOVE CONQUERS AND TRUMPS HATE TRULY!
Let's make America a place people can ALL FEEL WELCOME again and make that cry to become: "A more perfect Union" as written by our forefathers in the Constitution a reality, FOR AMERICA IS FOR EVERYONE , HATE HAS NO PLACE HERE!
Sincerely,
Christopher C. Gagliardi
