A MESSAGE OF ANTI-RACISM

We, the undersigned residents of Rock County, renounce the distribution of small
plastic bags with white supremacist rhetoric in several Janesville neighborhoods
on Labor Day weekend.
We pledge to actively support racial justice initiatives encouraging diversity,
inclusion, equity, and belonging in our communities.
We will advance educational opportunities to reinforce that ALL citizens know and
understand an environment free of prejudice and hate.
