Members of Teaneck Town Council to meet next week with Leadership from the Teaneck Muslim Community to offer Support to our Neighbors
 
The Teaneck Town Council recently released the following statement:
 
Statement on Hatred Against Muslim Communities
 
The hatred that lies within some extremist communities visited Edison NJ where a symbolic nod toward hatred against Muslim groups was rightfully condemned far and wide. 
 
The oppression of minorities in India is deeply concerning, and The Teaneck Town Council recognizes this for many Teaneck families whose relatives are directly affected by it.
 
These dangerous, supremacist ideologies have no place in Teaneck or New Jersey, and the Council is disturbed by their growth and the fear felt by local Teaneck residents -- many with family suffering around the world.
 
The Teaneck Town Council has always valued what we have learned through positive interaction with community members and we re-commit to continue the work of bridging our divides and standing against hatred and extremism, wherever they take root.
 
The Teaneck Town Council has been on record in denouncing hate wherever and whenever it has occurred. Each year the Council reaffirms its 2019 resolution, “Rejecting Hate within Teaneck.” You can read it here:

In line with this commitment, members of the Teaneck Town Council will be meeting next week with the Leadership of the Teaneck Muslim Community and national Muslim organizations to learn more about the issues facing the Muslim community and how we can help.

Mayor Jim Dunleavy said, “The Township wants everyone who comes to live, work and play in Teaneck to feel safe and supported. Our Township is of one mind in its rejection of hate, and racism in all its forms. We look forward to our discussions with the Muslim community leadership so as to be better able to support them and to let them know we are with them in their struggle against hate.”
