Hi there,
A month after the extremist mob stormed the Capitol, our neighbors to the north have taken a drastic step: Canada has declared the Proud Boys a terrorist group.
According to Canada's public safety minister, “Their violent actions and rhetoric are fueled by white supremacy, anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia, Islamophobia and misogyny.” We couldn't agree more -- but even though the Proud Boys were among the mob at the Capitol on January 6, many Americans have insisted that they were just exercising their right to protest.
How we talk about last month's events starting NOW will shape the way they go down in history -- which is why we're reaching out to our supporters now to get a sense of where you stand. Tell us if you agree:
Do you think the Proud Boys should be called protestors?
Thank you for all you're doing during this difficult time in our nation.
