I realize that no one in Elk Grove is exactly like me and that’s an amazing thing.
I respect my neighbors for the things we have in common and for our differences.
I appreciate the contributions of both immigrants and native-born residents and the importance of preserving and protecting our diversity.
I believe that no one should live in fear of intimidation or hate motivated violence.
I resolve that we all need to get along to make our community the best it can be.
I join the Elk Grove City Council in denouncing hate-based activity or conduct of any kind intended to harm someone due to their immutable characteristics.
I stand with my City in declaring that Elk Grove is “No Place for Hate” and I pledge to promote peace, love, friendship, unity, acceptance, tolerance and respect for humanity within my community.
