Spokane Mayor David Condon and the Spokane City Council issued the following statement about the community’s response to the act of hate at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Outreach Center today. The statement is as follows:
“The outpouring of community support for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Outreach Center today was remarkable, humbling and exemplified everything that is right about Spokane. To see more than one hundred people assemble with very short notice to stand with the Martin Luther King Jr. Center staff and the families they serve sent a strong, clear and undeniable message that hate will not be tolerated in our community. Not today. Not ever.
The emotion, conviction and unity reaffirmed for all of us that community, neighbors and family are what Spokane cherishes most. The community’s response was a proud moment and another reminder that we are all Spokane.”
