at epidemic rates across the nation; and

stand by and allow acts of violence, hatred and injustice to occur; and

feel alienated, without hope and helpless to stand alone against the hate and
aggression; and

of Cities, expressed deep and sincere sympathy to the family of George Floyd
and deplored and repudiated the actions that led to the Toss of life; and

Cities, President Isaac Salver, and other municipalities in echoing that sympathy
to the family of George Floyd and of others that have suffered similar fates and
deploring and repudiating the actions that led to the loss of life; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cape Canaveral is committed to supporting the
Florida League of Cities' pledge to work as a family of cities to respond to the call
for equality being heard throughout our nation.
