Statement on the assault on our government on Jan 6
The Executive Committee of the Beacon Democratic Committee condemns President Trump and the insurrection he incited on January 6, 2021. Mob violence has no place in our democracy. We support the Constitution and the rule of law.
We also condemn the unequal, unfair, and un-American practices of law enforcement agencies, who allowed acts of violence and destruction to unfold in our nation's capital. This was white supremacy taken to its logical conclusion and was particularly shameful in light of the extreme tactics regularly used against protesters in support of black lives.
We call on elected officials of all parties to also condemn the President and his accomplices, and we urge all appointed officials to uphold the rule of law and defend against any attempt to subvert peaceful self-governance.

Statement on Racial Injustice
The Beacon Democrats stand fully in support of Black Lives Matter, fully in support of prosecution of all acts of racist aggression, oppression, and its ultimate manifestation, murder.
We are heartened to see our members protesting in support of police reform and the killing of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and the countless victims of violence occurring each and every day in this country.
We understand that not everyone can be out during this pandemic but we know we stand together in opposition and will fight together to change our future, both at the ballot box and on the street.
