Goal: We call on elected officials, political parties, and media organizations to commit to restoring civility, rejecting bullying tactics, and fostering a culture of respect and constructive engagement in American democracy.
In a viral video, former FBI Director James Comey spoke out against the normalization of bullying and 'stunning coarseness' in American politics, particularly under the influence of Donald Trump and his followers. Comey’s message, which draws on the example set by Taylor Swift in standing up to bullies without becoming one, resonates with millions of Americans who are tired of divisive rhetoric and personal attacks.
We have witnessed a disturbing rise in political bullying, online harassment, and the erosion of basic decency in public life. This toxic environment not only undermines our democracy but also discourages civic participation, especially among young people and marginalized communities.
We must demand better from our leaders and ourselves. It is possible to stand up for what matters without resorting to cruelty or mimicry of those who seek to divide us. Let us reject the politics of meanness and commit to a future where respect, honesty, and kindness are the norm, not the exception.
Key Demands
- Publicly denounce all forms of political bullying, harassment, and personal attacks in political discourse.
- Implement and enforce codes of conduct for elected officials and party representatives that promote respectful and fact-based debate.
- Encourage media organizations to prioritize coverage that uplifts constructive dialogue and holds public figures accountable for incitement or bullying.
- Promote civic education programs that teach young people the values of empathy, respect, and democratic engagement.
- Support legislation that protects individuals from harassment and intimidation in both online and offline political spaces.
