Statement from PL+US on the Capitol Riots
January 7, 2021
“Yesterday, the President of the United States and his white vigilante supporters launched a violent assault on the Capitol that further exposed long-standing systems of bigotry, hate, and racism in our country. This mob attack exacerbated deep wounds in our communities and threatened our democracy. The work of building the democracy we aspire to will require time and strong action by all of us.
The simple fact is that our country is not safe until Donald Trump is out of office. It is imperative that leaders in both parties take swift action to immediately remove Donald Trump, whether via the 25th amendment or impeachment, to keep our country, our families, and our democratic institutions safe.”
