Episode 8: On Political Violence


Listen Later

One year after Jan. 6, 2021, Urban-Rural Action and partner organization Lead for America took part in the first National Day of Dialogue. In this episode, representatives from both organizations discuss how they felt on the anniversary of the insurrection, how they define political violence, what they make of a recent poll showing that roughly one-third of Americans say violence against government can be justified, and what questions they would ask people who share that view.
