The Community Foundation of San Carlos is joining in the United Against Hate movement and invites you to join us in proactively discussing and promoting acceptance, inclusion and equity in our town.
United Against Hate Week (Nov. 13-19, 2022) is a call for seven days of local civic action by people in 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.
It was created by civic leaders in direct response to the sharp rise in expressions of hate in our communities. Their goal is to empower local residents to take action in their local communities and alter the course of this growing intolerance.
When cities and their residents work together against hate, we can restore respect and civil discourse, embrace the strength of diversity and build inclusive and equitable communities for all.
Here is how San Mateo County is joining the movement in 2022.
San Carlos is joining the movement in the following ways:
On Monday, Nov, 14 - Mayor Sara McDowell will present a City Resolution during the City Council meeting.
From Monday, Nov. 14- Sunday, Nov. 20, 2022, a banner will be hung across Laurel Street to remind us to stand up for what is just and equitable.
Poster distribution at the San Carlos Library and at the Poetry Slam contest. Please email info@sancarlos.org if you’d like some posters to distribute around the community.
