here? We must have a com-
plete and transparent inves-
tigation into the activities 
and violence of Jan. 6. We 
must look with clarity at 
the stark inequities between 
the way Black Lives Matter 
protesters were treated at 
anti-racist protests over 
the summer, compared to 
the way armed extrem-
ists storming the Capitol 
were handled. We must 
remember those efforts that 
occurred to disseminate 
lies and attempt to disrupt 
democracy. This is not just 
looking to place blame; it’s 
holding the right people 
accountable. And we must 
learn from this experience 
so we do not make the same 
mistakes.
We must be vigilant that 
the inauguration remains 
safe and secure. And we 

must collectively make a 
decision to take a real stand 
against domestic extrem-
ism in the U.S. And that 
includes holding digital 
platforms responsible and 
demanding they create 
guardrails and stand by 
their own guidelines. ADL 
and other organizations 
like ours can help. But like 
all “house rules,” it’s the 
duty of the homeowners to 
ensure policies are followed.
Jan. 6 was a dark day for 
America. It has marked a 
certain period in our nation’s 
history. But it does not have 
to prescribe our future. We 
must strive to be better. And 
I promise ADL is unwavering 
in its commitment to be on 
the front lines. 

Carolyn Normandin is the Regional 
Director of ADL Michigan.
