NOT IN OUR COMMUNITY!
Recently, flyers were distributed in our Tri-Valley are disparaging Jewish people and blaming them for the Covid pandemic.
We invite you to join our rejection of such hate in our community, where we raise our children.
Let’s not let this happen, again. Speak out against all forms of hatred. Call on our city and county leaders to endorse our Proclamation (see other side) and create their own Proclamations. Post this Proclamation in visible places.

Proclamation
Whereas, the people of the San Ramon Valley support one another when we are hurting, and today is no exception; and
Whereas, many of us cannot begin to understand the depths of anguish and pain caused by the inexcusable accusations made against people of the Jewish faith in flyers passed around our community; and
Whereas, the anguish, suffering, and pain caused by any form of hate are reverberating throughout our country; and
Whereas, we, Interfaith of San Ramon Valley (I-SRV), as members of diverse faith communities, condemn any and all forms of hatred in our community; and
Whereas, we stand with all members of the entire San Ramon Valley community and with people from all faith practices, all cultures and all ethnicities; and
Whereas, at this moment in time, we especially stand in solidarity with members of our Jewish community who have been the target of recent flyers;
Now, Therefore, the Interfaith of San Ramon Valley, California, does hereby proclaim its solidarity with those who reject hate and embrace love, peace and
acceptance.
