The Dearborn City Council endorsed the national campaign "Take On Hate" on Tuesday night to take a stand against bias and discrimination toward Arab and Muslim Americans.

The council, along with Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, D-Dearborn, made the public pledge, which includes bigotry toward all people.

"I am proud to stand with the Dearborn City Council and the Campaign to Take On Hate," Dingell said. "We all want our community to be a place where everyone feels welcome and respected. You cannot fight intolerance with intolerance, and this resolution sends a powerful message that we are united in our efforts to counter stereotypes, overcome prejudice and end hate."

Council President Susan Dabaja introduced a resolution to officially join the campaign led by the National Network for Arab American Communities, a project of Dearborn-based nonprofit ACCESS. The resolution passed unanimously.
