Dear John,

In the past week, we've seen a lot of rhetoric in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination. And as an organization, we want to be crystal clear: Violence is never the answer. It is NOT the way to fix corruption or broken politics. It only makes everything worse. 

As our CEO, Maria McFarland Sánchez-Moreno, has witnessed firsthand, political violence doesn't solve problems. It escalates into nightmare scenarios. It tears countries apart, it kills too many, and it leaves lasting scars. 

Instead, we need to double down on democracy. Most Americans, regardless of political affiliation, still believe in the rule of law, checks and balances, freedom, fairness, and due process. We need to use our power as voters and citizens to demand real leadership in the face of escalating tensions. 

Violence will never fix what's broken. But together, we can build a future that works for every American. 

Thanks for being a part of the movement,
