Received May 16, 2017 From HRRC during Joint work session
Edina Citizens' Human Rights Committee
for all who live, work, or visit in Edina
Dear City Council Member,
In the months following the 2016 presidential election, the Southern Poverty Law Center documented
more than 900 incidents of hate speech and violence directed against Jews, Muslims, African-Americans,
women and girls, immigrants and refugees, and people who identify as LGBTQ. People are fearful about
their futures and their rights in our neighborhoods and our communities.
The Minneapolis City Council has passed a resolution affirming that City's commitment to protecting all
citizens from attempts to create a national registry or surveillance based on ethnicity, national origin, or
religious affiliation. This resolution affirms the City of Minneapolis's commitment to ensuring that those
who are targeted based on race, religion, or immigration status can turn to the government for
assistance without fear of recrimination, and commits to welcoming people of all ethnicities, national
origins, immigration statuses, gender and sexual identities, religious or non-religious affiliations, ages,
economic status, and abilities and securing equal protection for all under the law.
The City of Edina is the first -and to date, the only-Human Rights City in Minnesota. This gives us a
unique opportunity, obligation, and responsibility to advocate for human rights at this critical time. We
therefore hope that the Edina City Council will consider passing a similar resolution.
Sincerely,
Address, City, State

Edina Citizens' Human Rights Committee
Dear City Council Member,
In the months following the 2016 presidential election, the Southern Poverty Law Center documented
more than 900 incidents of hate speech and violence directed against Jews, Muslims, African-Americans,
women and girls, immigrants and refugees, and people who identify as LGBTQ. People are fearful about
their futures and their rights in our neighborhoods and our communities.
The Minneapolis City Council has passed a resolution affirming that City's commitment to protecting all
citizens from attempts to create a national registry or surveillance based on ethnicity, national origin, or
religious affiliation. This resolution affirms the City of Minneapolis's commitment to ensuring that those
who are targeted based on race, religion, or immigration status can turn to the government for
assistance without fear of recrimination, and commits to welcoming people of all ethnicities, national
origins, immigration statuses, gender and sexual identities, religious or non-religious affiliations, ages,
economic status, and abilities and securing equal protection for all under the law.
The City of Edina is the first -and to date, the only-Human Rights City in Minnesota. This gives us a
unique opportunity, obligation, and responsibility to advocate for human rights at this critical time. We
therefore hope that the Edina City Council will consider passing a similar resolution.
