U.S. President Joe Biden will host a White House summit in September to counter the effects of hate-fueled violence on American democracy and highlight his administration's actions to reduce gun violence, the White House told Reuters.
The Sept. 15 summit, dubbed "United We
Stand," will bring together officials, faith leaders and civil rights
groups and feature a keynote speech by Biden, who will put forward a shared
vision for a more united America, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre
said in a statement.
Even as our nation has endured a disturbing series
of hate-fueled attacks, from Oak Creek to Pittsburgh, from El Paso to Poway,
from Atlanta to Buffalo, Americans remain overwhelmingly united in their
opposition to such violence," Jean-Pierre said.
Biden, a Democrat, is seeking to highlight his
recent legislative wins, including a gun safety law he signed in June, ahead of
November midterm congressional elections.
