OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Omaha City Council has passed a resolution brought by newly-reelected Mayor Jean Stothert that condemns discrimination and hate and calls for Omaha leaders to be committed to diversity, equity and inclusion.
The resolution is largely symbolic, as it enacted no policy changes. The resolution drew praise, the Omaha World-Herald reported, but also some criticism from those who said city leaders need to do more than offer lip service to combating discrimination.
Lorraine Chang with the Nebraska Asian American Leadership Alliance supported the resolution, especially as the country has seen a sharp rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
