Letter: Groups pose a direct threat to our democracy

Editor,

The Jan. 6 insurrection demonstrated beyond any shadow of a doubt the threat posed by far-right militia groups such as the Washington 3 Percenters and their associates in Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys.

These groups pose a direct threat to democracy and have a documented history of extremism and intimidation.

Deer Lagoon Grange belongs to the entire South Whidbey community and must become a safe and welcoming space for all.
