The Mission of the Plymouth No Place for Hate Committee honors and appreciates the diversity of the community it serves and the individuals it encounters, embracing the differences in race, color, religious creed, national origin, ancestry, age, ability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, culture, religion, belief system, marital status, parental status, socioeconomic status, language, mental health, educational level or background, geography, work style, personality type, physical appearance, and/or political perspective or affiliation.

As a Town of Plymouth Committee, the No Place for Hate Committee, pledges to uphold our town’s guiding principle … “we are a community that is inclusive, collaborative and promotes diversity. Recognizing that we are different, and that is healthy and productive.”

Committee Charge – Through the leadership of Plymouth’s non-partisan No Place for Hate Committee, we will work to assure that the Plymouth community, as well as town governmental departments and committees are welcoming, civil, collaborative and respectful to everyone.

The Committee provides opportunities to identify and address inequality, actively opposing social, racial and other injustices and intolerances through respectful engagement and dialogue while honoring and embracing the diversity of the community. Purposefully, we strive to promote and share learning opportunities by acknowledging and understanding the impact of history on social interactions. The Committee pledges to:

• Educate members of our community
• Promote acceptance of the differences of others
• Display courage in the presence of racial and social injustice
• Encourage and facilitate open, compassionate and difficult conversations that seek to find solutions towards understanding and eradicating racial and social injustice
• Foster local partnerships to advance the mission.

We are committed to equity. We recognize that equity aims to remove barriers and eliminate racial, social and economic disparities by focusing on those who have been excluded from the decision-making process that affects the every-day lives of the citizens of Plymouth.
