We are Republicans, Democrats, and those unaffiliated with a party. We are conservatives, moderates, and liberals. Many of us have long been active in politics while some of us have been uninvolved - until now. But today, we agree that we must speak out about the serious threat facing us.
Political extremism is that threat. It has fueled hatred, promoted false conspiracy theories and lies, and turned families, friends and neighbors against each other. It must stop if democracy is to survive.
