When Care Is Met With Violence, Silence Is Not an Option
January 26, 2026

We are outraged and deeply grieved by the killing of Alex Pretti, an intensive care unit nurse and federal employee serving veterans, and Renee Good, a lesbian, mother, and poet. Both incidents hit especially close to home given Cascade AIDS Project’s (CAP) people and communities. At CAP, our work is grounded in a belief that care is sacred and that those who dedicate their lives to caring for others deserve protection, dignity, and safety — not fear or violence.
