City Of Pinole: United Against Hate Week

Press release from the City of Pinole:

11/03/2021

At the City Council meeting of November 2, 2021, the City Council issued a proclamation recognizing United Against Hate Week (UAHW) from November 14-November 20, 2021.

United Against Hate Week is a campaign bringing together municipalities, school districts, and civic organizations to establish a network of support and resources so communities can respond to and prevent hate, foster inclusion, and promote equity for all.

This week of action is designed to not just raise awareness about the dangers of hate and the need for respect and civil discourse, but to help community members build stronger connections with civic leaders, businesses, and schools, so that deeper engagement can continue year-round.

We encourage you to stop by City Hall, Police Department or the Senior Center to pick up a poster to help promote United Against Hate Week in the community.

Please visit the United Against Hate Week website for more information.

The Pinole Branch Library has also compiled a list of books for the community, see below.
