RALEIGH - Attorney General Jeff Jackson shared the following statement today as people across North Carolina and the United States may be preparing to gather for protests on Saturday, October 18.
"Peaceful protest is one of the most important rights we have as Americans. It's how people make their voices heard and stand up for what they believe in. I encourage everyone who chooses to demonstrate to do so peacefully and to look out for one another's safety. Protesting peacefully honors both the cause and the Constitution. Peaceful protest strengthens our democracy; violence undermines it."
