Portland Hero's Mother Pens Open Letter To Trump: "Condemn Violence"
Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meches last words were words of love.
Namkai-Meche, 23, was one of the victims in a hate-fueled attack on a train in Portland, Oregon, on Friday. While dying of a stab wound, he reportedly told one of the young women he helped save: Tell everyone on the train I love them.
Its no surprise, then, that Namkai-Meches family is continuing to fight back against the hate thats plaguing the area. His mother, Asha Deliverance, has written an open letter to President Donald Trump, which family members provided to HuffPost on Tuesday.
In the letter, she encouraged Trump to be a be a President for all Americans.
Please encourage all Americans to protect and watch out for one another, the letter reads in part. Please condemn any acts of violence, which result directly from hate speech & hate groups. I am praying you will use your leadership to do so.
