The Executive Leadership Council (ELC) strongly condemns the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Political violence has no place in our society and undermines the democratic values we hold dear.
We echo President Biden's words: “I want to speak to you tonight about the need for us to lower the temperature in our politics. We're neighbors or friends, coworkers, citizens. Most importantly, we are fellow Americans, we must stand together. We can’t allow this violence to be normalized. I believe politics ought to be an arena for peaceful debate. Our politics must never be a literal battlefield. We resolve our differences at the ballot box -- not with bullets.”
We urge all citizens to engage in our political process through peaceful and constructive means. Voting is a powerful tool for change and a cornerstone of our democracy. Let's ensure our voices are heard by participating in local, state, and national elections.
Together, we can foster a society built on respect, justice, and unity.
