2024 Peaceful Election Guide
A defining feature of American democracy is our ability to conduct elections without violence – before, during and after.
Sadly, as partisanship and rhetoric have heated up in America, so has the threat of political violence. As citizens and patriots, we need to make clear that violence is not how we make change in this country. We need to stand by our principles, our institutions, and our fellow citizens. It’s up to us to keep the peace in 2024; here are some resources you can use to help.
