We recognize that other groups will also be organizing campaigns intended to communicate with the general public about crucial issues in advance of President-elect Obama's inauguration. We vigorously uphold the right to free speech. As we exercise our right to free speech, we further recognize our responsibility to clarify this coalition's commitment to nonviolence. This commitment challenges us to strive for nonviolence in our lifestyles and personal interactions, and to reject any and all reliance on threat, force and weapons in resolving disputes, be they domestic or international.
