SC leaders mark 10 years since Mother Emanuel AME shooting, call for legislative action South Carolina political figures and lawmakers call for policy action 10 years after Dylann Roof shot and killed nine people at a Charleston church.

Today marks 10 years since the Mother Emanuel shooting—an act of racist violence that stole nine lives during Bible study. South Carolina still hasn’t closed the Charleston loophole or passed common-sense gun laws.

We honor them by resisting fascism, protecting Black life, & defending democracy.
