Stay Safe From Hate

Did you know that since the start of the pandemic, Anti-Asian racism in the form of threats and acts of violence has risen 150%. We denounce these acts, and encourage everyone in Ferndale to educate themselves about this issue and practice solutions. The "Stay Safe From Hate" booklet teaches simple ways to stay safe and also create safety for others who may be in harm's way. Please take a look ad commit to calling out anti-Asian sentiment when you hear and see it.
