There was a show of support for all humanity at the California Islamic Center in Lodi, Calif. to show Muslims that bigotry won't be tolerated.

Kri Beldon of Lodi said he stopped by a mosque during Saturday prayers when he saw this human chain of support.

He told KTVU that the chain was made up of non-Muslims who told him they were there to support the people inside the mosque and help keep them safe during their religious services following Friday’s mass shooting in New Zealand.
