MYD is proud to add our name to the list of supporters to New York Neighbors for American Values Coalition.
Our Position:
As Americans and as New Yorkers we are stronger when we work together. New York Neighbors for American Values embraces the American constitutional values of religious freedom, diversity, and equality. We stand together and rebuff the crude stereotypes meant to frighten and divide us.New York Neighbors for American Values is proud to include Muslim-American community members and institutions in our community, as we do all communities working to strengthen the fabric of our vibrant city. We reject the idea that any neighborhood in our great City is off-limits to any particular community. We welcome the effort of Muslim New Yorkers to build institutions that serve their communities and our diverse City.
We feel very strongly that religious freedom is inherent to our country, and we encourage said freedom across the board.
There will be a press conference today at 12 at City Hall, details are on the website http://nyneighbors.org/, and you can follow the progress on twitter @nyneighbors
I signed as an individual, from St. Louis, MO. Is there anything nationwide that can be signed if you are not a New Yorker? There are true Americans nationwide that support you. I do. Thank you for showing common sense.
Thank you for spreading the word about this. Every day I get more and more worried about the future of this country thanks to the ignorance and bigotry of too many individuals. We must stand up to hate. We must stand up to racism and bigotry. We must stand up for American Values!
Thank you guys! We’re really excited about this. My dad called me this morning to say that he saw it written up in the Las Vegas newspaper today!
Anthony, right now if you can spread the message it would be so helpful! There are video clips from yesterday’s press conference up now: http://nyneighbors.org/
