From: Greg Russell <br />To: 2Mayor <br />Subject: [External] America First Rally <br />Date: Thursday, July 15, 2021 10:25:16 PM <br />Dear Mayor, <br />My name is Greg Russell; I live, work, and raise my family here in Riverside. I have been a proud resident of this <br />city for over 20 years and have always been encouraged by the diversity and interdependence of this city. Even <br />when that means embracing different political viewpoints. <br />However, I cannot condone the America First Rally that is set to come to Riverside this coming Saturday. The <br />keynote presenters are well known for spreading lies and misinformation about a multitude of topics including the <br />COVID-19 pandemic. In addition their hateful and noninclusive rhetoric alone are incongruent with the principles of <br />the City of Riverside. <br />Again, while I fully support the City of Riverside giving a platform to multiple political viewpoints, I respectfully <br />ask that you rescind support for the America First Rally this weekend, as it's message is one of hate and <br />divisiveness. It is not what our country nor our community needs right now. <br />Thank you, <br />Greg Russell <br />
