I’m shocked and disappointed. Peaceful protesting is a fundamental right of all Americans, but Attorney General Barr has violated that right.

Anyone brave enough to stand up for justice peacefully right now is a hero, not a threat. Police and law enforcement should be working to protect our rights to free assembly, not attacking peaceful protesters.

Our history is full of moments like these — where protesters and demonstrations have helped us correct systemic injustices. Standing up like this is not hurting our country, it’s part of our very foundation.

That’s why I stand with the peaceful protesters. If you do too, sign your name here:
