President Trump's refusal to accept defeat incites right-wing extremists to hate
speech and threats of violence--now against public servants who oversaw our
election. This week a top election official in Michigan was hanging Christmas
decorations with her son while armed vigilantes gathered outside their home. 1 The people who safeguard our electoral process and protect our democracy should
be praised, not persecuted. Tell our election officials we stand with them.

Take Action
[[link removed]]In this divisive climate, we must all become civilian peacekeepers. Violent
rhetoric creates the context for “lone wolf” physical violence. Hate speech and physical threats to election officials have no place in a
healthy democracy. Thank your state’s top election official
[[link removed]] for their impartial commitment to a free, fair, and safe election!

Take Action
[[link removed]]Thank you for raising your voice for justice!

In peace,

Senior Associate Editor and Peace & Nonviolence Campaign Lead
