MONICA
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA DOES RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. It is resolved that while tragic armed conflicts are occurring in the
Middle East, we acknowledge that feelings of hate and despair within our community
from these outside events are stirring Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Santa Monica.
SECTION 2. Be it known to all that tolerance of all faiths and beliefs are integral
to life within Santa Monica and that all faiths and beliefs are welcome here without
prejudgment. Further, verbal and/or physical attacks on any member of the Santa
Monica community will not be tolerated, no matter their religion, faith, or creed.
SECTION 3. Santa Monicans strive for peace in our community and throughout
the world. As the City Council, we are responsible for promoting the safety and security
of all who live and come here. Tolerance, not intolerance, is the key to peace in our city.
SECTION 4. We urge all of Santa Monica’s residents to treat each other
respectfully and not judge others based on external factors but as humans dedicated to
peace and justice for all other humans.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution, and
thenceforth and thereafter the same shall be in full force and effect.
