MAYOR GARCETTI ON THE PRESIDENT’S EXECUTIVE ORDER ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

“The freedoms enshrined in our Constitution should be revered by all Americans, and the right to worship freely is inseparable from who we are as a people. But there is a clear difference between principles that unite us and politics that divide us. The executive order signed today by the President opens the door to a day when bigotry can be more easily disguised and protected under the cover of religious liberty. That should concern everyone who cherishes the idea that all people have dignity and deserve equal treatment.” — Mayor Eric Garcetti
