San Rafael Takes A Stand Against Hate

SAN RAFAEL, CA – The City with a Mission has a new mission. San Rafael is taking a stand against hate.

The City Council at its Nov. 1 meeting voted unanimously in support of a statewide initiative declaring the week of Nov. 14 – 21 as United Against Hate Week.

United Against Hate Week is backed by local municipalities to raise awareness of and declare an unequivocal opposition to hateful and discriminatory actions and rhetoric.

“The City of San Rafael stands with fellow California cities in denouncing rising trends of bias and bullying that have plagued our communities in recent years,” city officials said in a statement.

United Against Hate Week will include citywide efforts to raise awareness of implicit biases and discrimination in our community.

Such efforts will include placing street banners across downtown city light posts and posters for local businesses to publicize United Against Hate Week.

The city will also host a virtual community library book event to engage community members on the goals and values of United Against Hate week.
