Recently, residents in Pittsford have discovered racially charged fliers in their yards and driveways, and the distribution hasn’t stopped. Now the fliers have landed in the hands of children and Pittsford schools are stepping in. Last week, News 8 reported one neighborhood in Pittsford was the target of these small strips of white paper that say “Make Rochester Great Again” and link to a website that promotes white supremacy. It’s now grown to three neighborhoods and the message has found itself inside Pittsford schools.
From the the Board of Trustees of the Village of Pittsford: “We denounce in the strongest possible terms the recent sinister, racist activities in our community. There is no room for such division and hatred and we have zero tolerance for such despicable behavior in our village or town. This Board stands together as one with all residents and visitors to our Village regardless of race, creed, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.”
Pls show your support and join us for a Unity Walk on Sunday at 3:00 PM, starting at the Spiegel Recreation & Community Center, 35 Lincoln Ave, Pittsford, NY.
