TOWNSHIP DECLARES "BLACK LIVES MATTER" SUPPORT

Maplewood has continued to promote the rights of all residents, from gays to immigrants to minorities of all types.

The most recent was the declaration of the Township as a "welcoming community," a clear defense against federal efforts to prosecute immigrants in our community. 

This past week, another strong supportive move was seen in Maplewood Village as the Township raised a banner not only supporting Black History Month, but declaring that "Black Lives Matter," clear support for the positive racial equality movement that some on the right have sought to demonize.

Bravo!
