The Nutley Board of Commissioners expresses its strong condemnation of the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, a respected civic leader and advocate, who was senselessly killed at a public event at Utah Valley University. This act of violence is not just an attack on an individual; it is a serious affront to the democratic values and civil discourse that unite our communities across the country.

We offer our heartfelt condolences to Mr. Kirk’s family, loved ones, and all those affected by this abhorrent act. No disagreement or political belief can ever justify violence or intimidation. Our township is united in rejecting hatred, extremism, and all forms of political violence.

We stand with elected officials and citizens nationwide in calling for a renewed commitment to peaceful engagement, respect, and safety for everyone. As we grieve, let us also resolve to honor Charlie Kirk’s memory by cultivating a community where every voice can be expressed freely and without fear.
