Michigan Social Work Statement on Insurrection at the U.S. Capitol

The Michigan Social Work community abhors the attempted insurrection, violence and violation of the law at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. We respect the constitution, Congress and the peaceful transition of power. The chaos in the Capitol building was an attack on our democracy and has no place in our government. We applaud the action of Congress in today's early morning hours to confirm Joe Biden as the next President of the United States of America. We encourage vigilance and swift action to stop any future acts of sedition or insurrection against our lawful government.
