Make no mistake, an angry mob of armed (mostly) white people & complicit Republicans are responsible

The violence and mayhem we are witnessing in Washington today is yet another symptom of the disease we have been fighting since before the founding of our nation: White Supremacy. These actions amount to nothing short of a domestic terrorist attack on our country and on our very democracy.

Those who continued to feed lies about this election, in a desperate attempt to hold onto power they clearly do not deserve and undermine the will of the people, are ultimately responsible for today’s clashes. We are calling on all of North Carolina’s elected officials to immediately condemn not only the actions of these provocateurs, but also to condemn those who have fanned the flames of hatred and ignorance that enabled these anti-democratic ideas to take root.

Make no mistake, an angry mob of armed white people inside of our Capitol, threatening our government, including the very Republican leaders complicit in this attack, is nothing short of terrorism, and it must be condemned as such. We must name it in order for our nation to move forward from this moment.
