Vanessa Lowe is a member of the Unitarian Society and an organizer with POWER, the largest interfaith-based social justice organization in Pennsylvania.

Lowe will be participating in the vigils. She said she values the ability to collectively grieve, and not just process the ongoing news, alone.

When we hear these stories, its gut-wrenching and its hard. And me by myself, looking through the web or watching TV its just like the shock, said Lowe. You need a community to come together with, and cry with, and just put your heads together, and just be together.

Theres so much pain in the world and so much of it is about relations and how we see each other, or dont see each other. So, coming together, as humans, when things like this happen, is really critical, added Lowe.

Lowe is still hopeful that the moral arc of the universe will bend towards justice, hearkening back to the quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.

Shes looking forward to expanding multi-faith organizing in the Philly region, where different religions can come together based on their commonalities; the belief in the inherent worth of every being, and the wish for a healthy, happy world.
