Paul Young: “Let’s reclaim our strength as one community. Let’s choose love.”

The link between angry online rhetoric and real-life violence is becoming undeniable.

The angry rhetoric, the hateful speech, and the heated threats create a culture where violence feels like a next step instead of a red line.

In today’s climate, especially after the tragic events in Minnesota and the threats my wife and I often receive online, none of us can be too careful.

We need investment and opportunities for our young people, just the things that are going to ensure that our community has greater outcomes in life.
