A group of Pence's neighbors, who call themselves the Neighbors Organizing for Power and Equality, posted an open letter to Medium inviting the vice president-elect to meet with them at Comet Ping Pong to discuss the negative impacts of fake news.

“Now, your new neighbors are hurting. Parents and grandparents are left struggling to explain to our traumatized children why a man would fire a gun in a family gathering place in the heart of the community,” the letter read. “Families are frightened for their own safety.”

The letter told Pence that “breaking bread” would help “bring an end to this madness.”

“By doing so, you will send a powerful message to the perpetrators of these hateful attacks that this baseless and dangerous campaign of hate must stop,” the letter read. “Last Sunday’s assault on Comet ended peacefully. The next attack may not.”
