Official Statements

Recent events demonstrate the fragility of our union, and we are deeply concerned with the behavior of our president.

We solemnly join the rising tide of voices asking for the peaceful and lawful removal of the president of the United States.

A record number of Americans demonstrated, simply by casting a vote, that they value their democracy and its institutions.

Every eligible citizen should have the right to cast a vote, and every vote should be counted.

We hear the call to move toward something new — a government that unites its people and respects democracy, human rights, and human life.

We call for justice and accountability following the deaths of Black Americans at the hands of law enforcement officers and citizens.

There is hope as long as there are citizens willing to speak out. Sen. Romney’s fearless choice should inspire us to persevere with courage.

When presented to the Senate, these articles deserve a full and fair trial with impartial jurors, conducted as required by the Constitution.

We must unify behind a call to uphold the law, sustain the patterns set down by the Constitution, and demand integrity of our leaders.

We condemn the regulation announced by the Trump administration on Wed. that would abolish the 20-day limit on holding families in jails.

It is time to focus on rational, bipartisan, compassionate immigration reform that will prevent the separation of children from families.

We urge citizens to raise their voices and cast ballots in support of those who will lead our nation toward peace, unity, justice, and love.

We urge governments, institutions, and businesses to mobilize in pursuit of creative and radical strategies that will curb climate change.

We urge the president and Senate to prioritize impartiality over ideology and character over politics in nominating and confirming judges.

We are deeply grateful to Senator Jeff Flake for his willingness to insist upon further investigation before confirming Judge Kavanaugh.
