Culver City joins over two hundred communities in recognizing and participating in United Against Hate Week. On November 14, 2022 at 6:30 PM, the City Council will present a Proclamation, participating in a call for local civic action to stop the hate and implicit biases that are a dangerous threat to the safety and civility of our neighborhoods, towns and cities.
There will also be a ‘pop-up’ art installation at the Village Well Coffee and Books, featuring Alexey Steele’s Love My Neighbor series, along with art from CCUSD students. This display will be available from Nov. 16-19 during bookstore hours. The exhibition is a collaboration between the Artist Laureate, Village Well, CCUSD, and Culver City Arts Foundation.
Funding is made possible by the City’s percent for art program and a grant from the Culver City Arts Foundation, dedicated to supporting the arts in Culver City.
Poet Laureate Emerta Dr. Janet Hoult has written a poem for the occasion-
United Against Hate
This week needs to become a year
A year to reduce fear
Among all who have been
Subjected to hate and violence
For all humanity regardless of race or gender
Our world has become a blender
Reminding us we need to work together
For we are all neighbors
Let’s make sure that our values are visible
Stand by our neighbors – all our people
In our communities, our countries, our schools
And remind us all to practice the Golden Rule
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”
