Remember: our rules allow pointed disagreement, but require respectful discussion.
--
To all Minneapolis candidates, elected officials and supporters,
We invite you to join us this Sunday, September 23 at 12:30 p.m. in Peavey Plaza
on the Nicollet Mall to demonstrate a united commitment to tolerance and respect
in this time of sorrow and turmoil.
The recent terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington DC have evoked a
great deal of anger as well as an anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, anti-Middle Eastern
and even anti-gay backlash. We have all suffered in the past ten days and we
have all been equally horrified by these attacks. We must not use this as a
reason to lash out at one another. Let us use it as a chance to honor our
diversity, learn from each other and come together as a community.
Let us be united in our call for people throughout our city to reject racism,
hatred and bigotry and embrace respect for diversity and tolerance in this time
of great tragedy.
Following a brief demonstration,those who wish may join together and visit a
mosque to bring our support and concerns to the Muslim communities and places of
worship in our city.
We welcome all who support our effort to join us Sunday and invite all
candidates and elected officials to show your support by signing on to this
letter. To do so, or for more information, please contact Patrick Peterson or
Cam Gordon.
Sincerely,
Patrick Peterson
School Board candidate
