We extend our congratulations to President-Elect Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party for their victory in the recent election. This moment is a testament to the will of the American people and the strength of our democracy. Whether one feels a sense of triumph or disappointment, we must all honor the process and the peaceful transfer of power that defines our nation’s experience. We recognize that this election has been contentious, but it is through the robust exchange of ideas and engagement with our democratic institutions that we ensure our nation’s resilience. As we look ahead, we are reminded that our commitment to democracy and to each other is what sustains us.
As we reflect on the outcome of this election, we acknowledge that it has been a long, hard-fought campaign. This is the nature of democracy—it’s complex and never without challenges. But we must not allow these challenges to lead us to unmitigated cynicism or disengagement. What is most important is that we continue to move forward together as citizens of a great country with hope and commitment to the noble ideal of liberty and justice.
Our propensity for freedom and respect for the dignity of all humans is the pillar that holds up our democracy, and these values have sustained us for centuries. These values will continue to guide us as we navigate the future together.
It is evident; we are not as divided as our politics might suggest, but we must remain steadfast in bringing about consensus and bipartisanship at this defining moment. We are more than the sum of our differences and far greater than any partisan divide. Above all, we must seek unity in our diversity and our shared commitment to justice and fairness. We believe that regardless of political ideology, our democracy thrives when all voices are heard, and all perspectives are valued.
Let us at this moment be bounded by the best of our human spirit as citizens of our nation. We urge everyone to stay engaged and work toward our common good. A more inclusive democracy for all is within our grasp if we build stronger ties across all communities.
The League of Minority Voters is dedicated to empowering the voices of minorities and advocating for civil rights and racial inclusion. As an organization committed to advancing democracy, we believe that every voice matters and that good governance depends on the active participation of all citizens.
Sincerely,
