Dear Council Members, VERIFIED BY
Original on File with Cit Clerk' s office
The Baha'is of Palm Desert, along with Baha'is throughout the country, are making great
efforts to promote racial unity.
A national media campaign has begun to focus on "this most challenging issue".
Currently a 30-minute video entitled "The Power of Race Unity" is being aired on Court
TV and Bravo channels.
Many local groups are carrying out community activities in support of this national effort.
One of the elements of the campaign is the publication of the document " A Vision of
Race Unity".
The Baha'is of Palm Desert would like to present copies of this document to each council
member at one of your meetings. We would appreciate if you would place us on the
agenda of your next meeting, or as soon thereafter as possible.
We know that you are aware of the benefits of a harmoniously functioning community, in
which respect for the dignity of each person is the basis of all decision making.
If the council or any other agency wishes to initiate a local program to promote racial
unity, we are able and willing to provide resources such as speakers, group leaders, print
materials and volunteer workers to support such an effort. Please feel free to give us a
call.
We may be reached at (760) 568-3699.
