We firmly believe in the right of individuals to peacefully protest as a fundamental part of a democratic society. However, we are troubled by reports of unauthorized filming, shouting, physical aggression, and harassment directed at our guests—including older adults and individuals in wheelchairs—as they entered our 60th Anniversary Gala’s venue. We are also concerned by reports of aggressive behavior, including shoving and verbal disrespect, directed at our workers, who were simply doing their jobs to ensure guests could enter the venue safely.
