Mayor Lee’s Statement In Support Of Muslim Community
Mayor Edwin M. Lee today issued the following statement in support of the Muslim community in the San Francisco Bay Area and across the United States:
“I condemn the continued anti-Muslim rhetoric and discriminatory policies suggested by Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. This dialogue does not represent American values and certainly does not represent San Francisco values.
San Francisco is a leader in welcoming all, and we will never tolerate the marginalization or discrimination of any person or group. Just yesterday, I met with representatives and leaders from the Muslim community in City Hall who let me know, firsthand, the discrimination they feel. And, today, I met with other West Coast Mayors to discuss how we can continue to support all of our communities and make sure that whether in our schools, on our streets or in our workplaces, everyone is respected. Our diversity makes our City strong.”
