Following the Trump Administration\u2019s indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the Democracy Alliance issued the following statement:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Democracy Alliance stands in full solidarity with the SPLC as it faces a blatantly politicized prosecution by the Trump Administration. This shameful attack on SPLC, one of our nation\u2019s oldest and most respected anti-hate groups, does not come in a vacuum. It\u2019s part of a dangerous pattern, one that every pro-democracy organization should unequivocally condemn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This indictment is just the latest step in a campaign to intimidate and undermine civil society organizations, especially those who are confronting white supremacist violence, advancing racial justice, and upholding civil rights. It\u2019s part of a broader effort to threaten, silence, and suppress perceived political and ideological opponents. It also sends a dangerous signal of impunity to white supremacists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We will not stand by silently as a major civil rights organization is targeted. We know that an attack on one of us is a threat to all of us \u2013 fundamental democratic freedoms are at stake. If the federal government can turn prosecution into a selective weapon of political repression and intimidation, then no community, organization or individual is truly safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We are more committed than ever to our work to support and sustain the vibrant, independent and effective civil society that is so essential to our future. \u201d<\/p>\n The post Democracy Alliance Rejects Politicized Prosecutions and Attacks on Civil Society\u00a0<\/a> appeared first on Democracy Alliance<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n
