City leaders are engaged and involved in community support rallies and speaking out against hate. They share a commitment to finding solutions through the creation of an inclusive, welcoming community that knows how to stand up together against hate and bias. Beyond the city, other leaders are also taking a stand against hate and creating policies that address and combat hate as well.
