Dear City Council:
I am troubled by the attempts to re-write the city's Statement of Human Dignity. The new policy proposed is a mockery of the words, "human dignity."
As a 16 year resident of Huntington Beach, I vote every election, and I will take notice of those proposing this oppressive new policy.

Subject: Tuesday Council Meeting Agenda
I have read the draft of the proposed Statement of Human Dignity and wonder why the draft excludes so many of our esidents, guests and tourists? The overt bigotry is unmistakable. You are clearly stating my non-binary family membe nd my friend's trans granddaughter are not welcome or safe here. Instead of alienation, inclusion of our marginalize community should be part of this statement.
Additionally, the proposed censure of a council member for making true statements during a council meeting is unnecessary and inflammatory. Many human rights groups have labeled Ms. Van Der Mark a racist and Holocaust Denier and her social media history certainly supports that. Her photo ops with avowed white supremacists also support her reputation as antisemitic. As my grandmother would say "If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas." Council Member Moser did nothing wrong calling out the facts.
Also, the proposed Resolution of No Mask No Vaccine City is absolute ignorance. Your encouragment to your followers to not protect themselves and others is abhorrent. Even your leader Trump has been vaccinated! I, along with many other residents, are disturbed by the hate being spread in our city and the council members who support it. We will be watching the council meeting on Tuesday. --
