I have such deep respect for the prime minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern for being such an exemplary leader. She demonstrated strength, empathy, justice, wisdom and maturity at an extremely pivotal time. She vowed to "absolutely deny" giving up the mosque gunman a platform, the AP reported. Instead she said, speaking to Parliament, "I implore you speak the names of those who were lost, rather than the name of the man who took them. He may have sought notoriety but we in New Zealand we will give him nothing. Not even his name." ⚫ I wish our leaders here in the US would act with such courage and put an end to these atrocities. ⚫ #RickFraustoFineArt Jacinda Ardern Drawing, 2019 #originaldrawing on archival paper 6 X 9 inches ⚫ #Christchurchshooting #GilroyShooting #ElPasoShooting #DaytonShooting https://www.instagram.com/p/B0y5d0Ip2M6/?igshid=1fjhqfaze68tt
