Threats and Harassment in Local Government

In partnership with the Bridging Divides Initiative (BDI) at Princeton University, CivicPulse has been tracking the rate at which local elected leaders are experiencing threats, harassment, or physical attacks since the summer of 2022. So far, CivicPulse has conducted seven surveys and BDI has conducted almost 100 follow-up interviews with survey participants.
