Abstract

We must protect free speech, peaceful protest and civil disobedience. We must respect diversity of thought and perspective, engage in civil discourse and find common ground. We must condemn and fight hate, harassment, intimidation and violence with moral clarity and uphold the rule of law. Our leadership challenge — and the imperative — is defending and practicing all these values in the same breath, at the same time.
