The sixth quarterly survey provides updated findings from the Q4 2023 nationally representative BDI-CivicPulse survey of more than 400 local elected officials on threats and harassment, putting the total number of participants across all six surveys at 2,315. This research is produced as part of an ongoing joint project launched by BDI and CivicPulse in August 2022 to conduct quarterly national surveys of local officials on their experiences facing threats and harassment. These quarterly updates allow us to identify spikes or shifts in hostility and monitor important trends in threats and harassment as we enter the 2024 election cycle. Over the last 16 months, experiences of threats and harassment remained widespread -- more than half of surveyed officials reported being insulted, over a third reported harassment, and nearly one in six reported threats in any given three-month window.

Recent anti-ICE walkouts at schools across the country have repeatedly seen violence, contention, the presence of anti-immigrant and pro-ICE actors, and doxing and harassment of students, teachers, and school administrators. BDI assesses that future anti-ICE school walk-outs, especially those highlighted by online actors, are at heightened risk of contention and possible violence. It also includes recommendations for student safety, digital security for educators, and event‑related risk mitigation.
