In December of 2016, I introduced a resolution in support of inclusion of all people in Dane County. It is based on words written by local faith leaders. 2017 is a new year, filled with new hopes and new challenges. It is my hope that we stand together in support of all of our neighbors. Together, we can find common ground and move forward.

“WHEREAS the Dane County Board of Supervisors hereby affirms the ongoing commitment to the values we hold dear, and we pledge to all who live within our boundaries that your county government will stand by you; and

“WHEREAS the Dane County Board affirms our deep and abiding commitment to the democratic ideals of inclusion, celebration of diversity, and mutual responsibility toward one another. We pledge to stand against intolerance, hatred, and discrimination. We declare Dane County to be a safe space for all, regardless of ethnicity, religion, absence of religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or immigration status. We welcome the refugee, the outcast, the stranger among us.

“NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Dane County Board looks to all our residents to join together in the spirit of community to stand against hate, racism, and misogyny, and to stand together in mutual respect, support, and love, because — while we face great challenges as a community — we will face them together, as together we move forward!”
