I respectfully request that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors amend its Agenda for November 1, 2023 to include a Resolution condemning nationwide anti-Semitic acts across the nation. I would also ask that this Resolution requests that Albemarle County residents respect and honor the traditions of Judaism and Islam as well as the adherents of both faiths during this time of conflict in Israel and Gaza. Finally, I would ask that this Resolution direct County staff to take any and all legally permissible steps to ensure the safety of our County's Jewish and Islamic residents from anti-Semitic and anti-Islamic acts of intimidation and violence.
