April 3, 2018 – “Reports of a ‘Punish a Muslim Day’ are vile, wrong and have no place in our society. It is not who we are and it is not who we strive to be – as a local community, a state or as a nation. Here in Westchester, we are working hard to restore our Human Rights Commission. This Commission’s stated goal is to ‘eliminate and prevent acts of discrimination and to foster tolerance among the inhabitants of Westchester County’ and we take that charge very seriously.  All people, regardless of faith, are welcome here in Westchester.  This is your home and we will do everything in our power to keep you safe.”
