Mayor Susan Shin Angulo, 镇委员会 President David Fleisher and the Cherry Hill Human Relations Advisory Committee announced the Cherry Hill Municipal Building will be illuminated with blue and yellow lights, in support of Ukraine and the country’s brave fight to defend freedom and democracy.
LED灯将从黄昏一直亮到晚上11点，作为与乌克兰人民以及在樱桃山生活、工作和做礼拜的乌克兰裔美国人团结一致的象征。
In a joint statement, Mayor Angulo and 镇委员会 said: “When we look at the many city halls, skyscrapers, bridges and stadiums across the world proudly shining the colors of the Ukrainian flag, it sends a powerful collective message: We stand with Ukraine. It is important for Cherry Hill, a diverse and inclusive community that is proudly home to many Ukrainian-Americans, to join in that message.”
As representatives of the Human Relations Advisory Committee — an advisory group for the Mayor and Council that celebrates diversity and promotes respect for the human and civil rights of all Cherry Hill residents, business owners and visitors — Councilwomen Sangeeta Doshi and Michele Golkow added: “An attack on human rights anywhere is an attack on human rights everywhere. It’s vital that we stand up for the values the Human Relations Advisory Committee was created to protect and add our voices to the fight against this brutal war and dire humanitarian crisis.”
