Our Statement of Principles

• We affirm people's rights to peacefully protest injustice and systemic racism. 
• We reject vigilantism and the violence it brings.
• We will continue to work with our institutions, both government and private, to reform policies and procedures to ensure equity and safety for all citizens.
• We ask those who will take part in expressions of free speech to take a pledge of non-violence.  

This statement was developed by PerSISTERS, a grassroots group of citizen activists that started in Wauwatosa WI.
