SHOREWOOD -- The Shorewood Village Board of Trustees has passed a new sanctuary resolution backing an expectation that the village proactively address incidents of discrimination, harassment and violation of civil rights.
It is called the "Resolution for Justice and Dignity" -- embracing people of any race, religion, national origin, immigration status or sexual orientation.
The resolution is backed by groups like Voces de la Frontera and the Shorewood Solidarity Network.
Members said they hope to see other communities, including Milwaukee, adopt similar resolutions to push back against unconstitutional, discriminatory and anti-family practices.
