CITY COUNCIL PROCLAIMS DAY OF RELIGIOUS PLURALISM IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, 2015
CITY HALL - City Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell is partnering with the City of Los Angeles Human Relations Commission to take a stance with prominent representatives of the Christian, Muslim and Jewish faiths against persecution and hate, and to declare April 21, 2015 as Day of Religious Pluralism in the City of Los Angeles.
The first portion of the program will involve faith and community representatives, as well as elected officials, and will take place at 9:00am in the Media Room behind the John Ferraro Council Chamber at City Hall, 200 N Spring St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.
The Council presentation will take place at 10 a.m., inside the John Ferraro Council Chamber at City Hall, 200 N Spring St., 3rd floor, Los Angeles, CA 90012.
This effort comes at a critical time, as we witness a rise in extremism, persecution and serious violations of human dignity across the globe. Three of the major genocides of the 20th Century - the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust and the Rwandan Genocide - are commemorated in the month of April. A show of unity on religious pluralism in the City of Los Angeles will send a powerful message to the international community.
