From: Sam Elkin <br />To: 2Mavor <br />Subject: [External] Fwd: M T Greene at Raincross Convention Center <br />Date: Friday, July 16, 2021 12:47:50 AM <br />Dear Mayor, <br />I grew up in Riverside and attended Jackson Elementry School, Gage Jr High, <br />Poly High and UCR. I have been proud if my upbringing in Riverside until <br />now. <br />I am appalled that Raincross Center booked M J Greene after Orange County <br />Convention Center refused to allow her a venue for her hate speech. <br />The following statement by the City of Riverside is weak and hypocritical: <br />"is not an endorsement by the City of Riverside of the views that may be <br />expressed at that event." <br />The statement, provided by city spokesperson Phil Pitchford, said: "The <br />City of Riverside is an inclusive community and has affirmed its <br />commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion through the City Council's <br />actions and policies." <br />I am sure you are aware of the many documented racist and anti-Semitic <br />statements she has made in the past. <br />How can our city allow her a platform for her hate speech?? <br />I am disgusted. <br />Dr. Samuel Elkin <br />Sent from my Whone <br />
