Friend – 

This has been a trying week for our country. After the horrific display of hatred by white supremacists in Charlottesville, our president had an opportunity to unite the country by condemning this act of domestic terrorism which led to three lives being lost. 

He failed. And he’s since doubled down on that failure. 

There is in no way a moral equivalency between those who stand against racism and anti-Semitism, and actual Nazis and white supremacists. Period. 

President Trump has shown he lacks the moral leadership that Americans deserve from our commander in chief. If he can’t do something as simple as condemning neo-Nazis and the KKK, then it’s time we come together as a country and condemn his inaction in the strongest possible terms.

Now is the time for our elected leaders in Congress to fill this void in leadership, and show the world that our nation will not stand for hate and violence perpetrated by any group who believes in racial superiority. It’s time for Congress to formally condemn the president’s refusal to take a stand against hate groups. 

We must also demand of ourselves what we demand from of our leaders. We have a responsibility to speak out against hatred in all its forms, and show that we’re better than the bigotry and violence that was on display in Charlottesville. 

Only then can we begin to move our nation forward, together. 

Thank you,

Abby
