Body
SUMMARY:
The Office of Racial Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (REDI) recommends that the Board formally acknowledge and declare November 14 to November 20, 2021 as United Against Hate Week.
United Against Hate Week is a call for local civil action by people of every Bay Area community to stop the hate and implicit biases that are a dangerous threat to the safety and civility of our neighborhoods, towns, and cities. Over 53 cities and towns are participating in the movement that centers on creating awareness and education and bringing light to biases that lead to violence or hatred against members of marginalized groups. Santa Clara Valley Water District’s support for United Against Hate Week aligns with the core tenets of fairness, equity, and respect for all people.
