“When public figures demonize whole swaths of people for their own political gain, they are complicit in the escalation from words to deeds that follow,” said Heather McGhee, president of Demos. “Now is the time for all Americans of good conscience to declare their side, and affirm that we are made strong by our diversity, and made strongest by our unity.”
In support of the movement, organizers have created a website, WeAreBetterThanThis.com, where supporters can sign a pledge to stand against the violence and discrimination.
