16 | Place for Hate" working with Pennsylvania communities and |
|
1 | schools and other local organizations; and |
2 | WHEREAS, "No Place for Hate" projects in communities and |
3 | schools in this Commonwealth have taken the form of candlelight |
4 | vigils, surveys in middle schools and high schools, teacher and |
5 | student training, panel discussions on bullying, mural projects, |
6 | rapid response teams, marches, speeches and talent shows where |
7 | performers have presented original pieces based on the "No Place |
8 | for Hate" theme; and |
9 | WHEREAS, While its work is far from done, ADL has every |
10 | reason to be proud of its outstanding contributions to the |

13 | therefore be it |
