Had a very encouraging meeting today @chicago with Brent Decker of " Cure Violence" a community violence reduction program which approaches violence as a curable disease. Examined how their approach could be adapted to the situation in Haiti. #Haiti #Cureviolence #peacebuilding

For those with friends and families on the "other side," now is the time to reach out and try to heal our divisions. We can all play a role in reducing tensions nationally by reducing tensions in our own circles.

[CureViolence @CureViolence]

Acts of violence like we saw in DC yesterday are an attack on our democracy. This type of behavior is never acceptable. We are calling on our supporters to join us in taking a stand against this violence.

[CureViolence @CureViolence]

If you are feeling overwhelmed by all the news still unfolding from yesterday, take a break. Turn off the news. Take a moment for yourself. Distract yourself. Call a friend. Right now, the best thing you can do is take care of yourself.

[CureViolence @CureViolence]

Within societies people may have different beliefs or different information sources, but we must all oppose the use of violence to address grievances, regardless of differences.

We're not asking for you to shoot them like you shoot us.
We're asking you to NOT shoot us like you don't shoot them.

Violence is not welcome here.

[CureViolence @CureViolence]

Tensions are high on all sides. Cool yourself and your friends down. We must hold the peace. #FreeFromViolence

[CureViolence @CureViolence]

Hold the peace! Violence is contagious. Don't get caught up. #FreeFromViolence

[CureViolence @CureViolence]

We must stand together and condemn violence.
