We at Gival Press strongly condemn xenophobia, misogyny, and racial and gendered violence.
The recent incidents at Boulder, Atlanta, El Paso, and numerous attacks against Black, Asian, Hispanic, Jewish, the LGBTQ communities, and Americans in general are repugnant acts against humanity which should be condemned by all Americans and especially by our elected officials.
If elected official fail to endorse laws to protect our citizens, then the corporations that provide them with campaign funding must be alerted that we also can voice our concern about their lack of judicial prudence in supporting individuals who do not support all Americans' rights to equal protection by the Law and adherence to constitutional laws.
We simply cannot stand by and allow our Democracy to be destroyed.
