The Committee of Seventy strongly condemns the violent attack on former President Trump. Our thoughts are with everyone who was affected by this violence.
There is no place for violence in our politics and we stand with the overwhelming majority of Americans who share that belief. C70 has excellent resources that help people work out their differences without violence.
Democracy works better when we earn and hold trust - trust in our elected officials, trust in our institutions and trust in each other. This is a moment where leaders across all ideologies and sectors must speak out against violence publicly and in no uncertain terms.
We also call on people to take care in what information they share or amplify, today and every day. We all have a role to play in promoting accurate information and quelling further acts of violence fueled by inflamed rhetoric and misinformation.
