The Coalition issued the following statement in the wake of today’s events in Washington, D.C.:
“A peaceful transition of power lies at the heart of our democracy. It is the foundation of our country. If we don’t protect that American ideal, all of our other efforts to preserve and protect America’s Best Idea, our national parks, will be in vain. We are horrified by this insurrection and wholeheartedly condemn the acts of violence occurring today in our nation’s capital.”
