A Statement from Education Strategy Group

January 7, 2021

Education Strategy Group is deeply saddened by the violent, destructive events that took place yesterday at the U.S. Capitol. Many of us have served in government at the federal, state, or local levels, and we have the deepest respect and reverence for our democratic principles and institutions.

We condemn those who participated in yesterday’s insurrection, and those who knowingly incited it. We commit to working with the incoming Biden Administration as well as bi-partisan members of Congress and state and local leaders around the country who seek to strengthen our institutions, heal our divisions, and restore confidence in our democracy. Education has a pivotal role to play in our country’s next chapter.

It is time to move forward. Together.
