Last week, Senator Mallory McMorrow was the subject of hate speech in the form of a fundraising letter from a fellow Michigan Senator. Senator McMorrow’s response on the floor of the Michigan Senate is a model for us all to emulate by publicly standing up to hateful civil discourse.
“Hate will only win if people like me stand by and let it happen. … We will not let hate win.”
This Open Letter asks you to speak up in the face of attacks on fundamental American democratic principles of civil discourse and fair treatment. |
We ask that you sign and share this with your networks by close of business Monday, April 25.
