CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH • CALIFORNIA
Policy on Human Dignity
By the Huntington Beach City Council
Huntington Beach is a city whose residents and visitors represent nearly every walk of life, come from many nations, share varied lifestyles, and hold different religious beliefs. This diversity brings to our city a rich and varied cultural heritage. Our citizens honor and respect the differences that exist in Huntington Beach. When crimes are committed against any citizen, it is considered an act against the entire community.
The Huntington Beach City Council declares that everyone should be treated with courtesy and respect. It is the right of every citizen to pursue their daily lives with the knowledge that they should not be physically harmed or verbally abused. The City of Huntington Beach recognizes our responsibility as a community to protect children from abuse of any kind including physical abuse, emotional abuse, exploitation, and sexual grooming.
ON
BEACH The City of Huntington Beach will recognize from birth the genetic differences between male and female and respect the strengths and benefits of each. Each sex carries advantages and disadvantages that warrant separation during certain activities (ie. sports). We encourage an environment free of hostility and discourage the erasure of either genders separate accomplishments.
The Huntington Beach City Council states in the strongest terms that it will vigorously fight criminal activity that risks some one's freedoms ensured by the United States Constitution and/or violates the laws of our land. It is the City's stated policy to aggressively pursue a course of investigation, apprehension, prosecution, conviction and/or incarceration of all of those who participate in crimes in our community.
We believe in the independence of all people. Participate at your places of worship and community meetings freely and lend your voice in support of treating and respecting all people equally.
The forgoing Policy on Human Dignity was adopted by the City of Huntington Beach City Council on September 5, 2023.
