PROCLAMATIONS

Pass a city, county, or school board resolution/proclamation acknowledging participation in UAH Week.  

When a resolution or proclamation is adopted, it allows government officials to express their dedication to combating hate, building inclusion and equity for all, and supporting vulnerable groups and victims of hate in their communities. In these statements, leaders acknowledge United Against Hate Week campaign activities as opportunities to strengthen relationships and promote safety and belonging. Statements can be shared via official communications channels, as well as on community platforms like Nextdoor. If you are a city leader, please share your resolution with UAH Week. For community groups, contact your elected officials and ask your city to participate.
