On Wednesday, September 10, prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University.

At Lower Cape Indivisible we condemn this horrific murder and all acts of political violence. Although we unequivocally disagree with Kirk's politics and ideology we would defend to the ends of the earth his right to speak freely without fear of that violence.

Kirk's death occurred on the same day as a mass shooting at a Colorado school and just two weeks after a mass shooting at a school in Minnesota. Our country's gun violence epidemic knows no bounds and we are heartbroken by the pain it continues to cause.

Our thoughts are with the loved ones of all victims of gun violence.
