A resolution to condemn political violence in all forms, regardless of political party or ideology, and affirm the commitment of the Michigan Senate to peaceful dispute resolution through lawful, democratic means.
SR 82 is a Michigan Senate resolution condemning all political violence regardless of political party or ideology. It affirms the Senate's commitment to resolving disputes through lawful, democratic means and references rising violence statistics (150 politically motivated attacks in the U.S. during the first half of 2025). As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws or directly affect any group but expresses the Senate's stance against violence that undermines democracy and civic participation.
