Unity Rally Coeur d’Alene

We support the self-evident truth that all persons are created equal

 

We believe that the dignity of each Human Being is inviolable.

 

We oppose discrimination or the denial of “Equal Protection of the Laws” based upon race, color, religion, creed, gender, age, disability, ethnic origin, sexual orientation or social and/or economic status.  We further oppose all attempts to promote segregation or separation of the races.  We reject the doctrine of white supremacy or any other doctrine that advocates the superiority of one race over another.

 

We pledge to work for the elimination of prejudice and discrimination.
