Harris, who was invited to speak by the Rev. Al Sharpton, noted "a through-line" through mass shootings in Buffalo;Uvalde, Texas; Atlanta, and Orlando, telling those gathered in Buffalo that today "is a moment that requires all good people, all God-loving people to stand up and say, 'We will not stand for this -- enough is enough.

We will come together based on what we all know we have in common, and we will not let those people who are motivated by hate separate us or make us feel fear."

 "I'm here to say that we are all in this together -- no one should ever be made to fight alone," she said in closing.

"We are stronger than those who would try to hurt us think that we are -- we are strong. We are strong in our faith.

We are strong in our belief about what is right and our determination to act to ensure that we protect all those who deserve to be protected, that we see all those who deserve to be seen, that we hear the voices of the people, and that we rise up in solidarity to speak out against this, and to speak to our better angels."
