A Time to Act
The recent events in Charlottesville have escalated divisiveness and intolerance in America to a frightening degree. The persistence of racism, anti-Semitism, white supremacy, Nazism, and other hate groups continues to be cause for profound concern as they threaten America’s founding principles of equality. Indeed, our Constitution, to say nothing of the countless lives lost defending it, offers an unequivocal basis for complete condemnation of these ideologies.
