| | | | | | | | DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND | The current political climate has raised concerns about violations of civil and human rights across the country. There have been news reports of incidents of hate and bias occurring across the country, including in our own City of Bainbridge Island. Members of vulnerable communities are frightened and concerned for their safety.
The City of Bainbridge Island has a long history of supporting civil and human rights, and protecting targeted communities and vulnerable individuals. The proposed Inclusive and Welcoming City Resolution would affirm our values and strengthen our resolve to work together for a welcoming, inclusive, and safe community.
