Pleasanton City Council Muslim Proclamation

September 7 @ 7:00 pm - 7:30 pm
At 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 7, the Pleasanton City Council joins communities throughout the State of California in recognizing the month of August 2021 as Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month. The event is virtual only.
 
The MCC encourages all congregation members to watch the livestream and express our appreciation. We especially encourage residents who live in the City of Pleasanton to attend in person. Please also leave a public comment: http://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/cals/default.asp

7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. | Tuesday, Sept. 7  | Watch online with these options:

The Proclamation is the second agenda item so please be on time at 7 p.m. to the meeting. Sr. Spojmie Nasiri and Br. Munir Safi will speak on behalf of Pleasanton Muslims.
This is the second year the Pleasanton City Council has done so. Keep an eye out for Dublin, San Ramon and Livermore City Council virtual proclamations in the coming weeks.
 
Last year, then-Vice Mayor Karla Brown presented the Proclamation, which acknowledges the rich history and guiding virtues of American Muslims, and commends Muslim communities in California for the lasting positive impact they have made, and continue to make, toward the advancement of the state and the nation.

The Pleasanton City Council follows in the steps of other City Councils in the San Francisco Bay Area, like Santa Clara, Union City, Oakland, San Jose, and Redwood City.
