The Park Rapids City Council approved a resolution on Jan. 26 regarding the Respect Minnesota pledge.
Moved for approval by council member Erika Randall and passed unanimously, the resolution contains seven “whereas” statements echoing the tenets of the Respect Minnesota pledge but no “be it therefore resolved.”
The pledge’s five tenets read:
I support free speech and a safe environment for everyone.
I will listen, be inclusive and look for common ground.
I will respect others, our natural environment, and local communities.
I will respect the cultural heritage and history of the Indigenous people.
