upon our neighbors, businesses, religious leaders, government officials, and
local law enforcement to develop strategies and actions to stop the rise of
threats of violence and symbols of hate speech in our community, and to take
further steps to ensure that the City of Ferndale is a place where citizens
experience inclusion, acceptance, and love.”
