Sunday, July 14, 2024 – Following events at the political rally for former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, Leadership Now Project issued the following statement:

“Violence has no place in our political process. We unequivocally condemn yesterday’s attack against former President Trump and express our gratitude to the Secret Service for preventing further harm. We mourn the tragic death of a bystander at the event.

Political violence goes against the core values of American democracy, a system that allows us all to express our views without fear of violence, intimidation or retribution. We must continue to work to restore faith in our democracy and uphold those principles.

This is a time to protect our political process and work out our differences without violence. Leadership Now is committed to working with partners to support a safe and peaceful election process.”
