Take Action Now. Show your support.
The photo on the left is in the front yard of Paulina and Arne Petersen’s home. They have made their voice heard with these words: “Speak Out Against Racism. Silence is Deadly.” This is not a political message. It is a statement about the state of racial injustice and inequality in our country today. Enough is Enough! Change must happen now!
When Paulina walked out of her home this morning, she was brought to tears by the flowers placed by others who share the same values and concerns.
You can add your voice to this message by bringing flowers and notes to Paulina and Arne’s home at the corner of Arlington and Main Streets and placing them around the sign. They welcome your support and we thank them for creating a space where we can offer our support.
This is who We are. Together, We are Indivisible Ferndale!
It was great to see this post and photo of the Peterson’s Thanks for sharing and for supporting the message! Go Ferndale! Go Indivisible!
Ps: I hope everyone is showing their support, care, and love of their fellow humans whilst wearing your mask when shopping, waiting in the que at the post office, and in other close spaces where 2 meter social distancing is not possible. It is not a “political” issue, or one of “freedom of choice,” it is a “moral” issue! – It shows that you care for others…yourself, your family, your neighbors, and even your elders – whom you may go to visit not even knowing you are coming to infect, and possibly even kill, them with your “stupidity,” if you don’t wear your mask.
Many Blessings to all our friends and loved ones in Ferndale!
