          CONCERNING CELEBRATION OF DAY WITHOUT HATE 2014. 
       
       
          WHEREAS, In May 2007, following the tragedy at Virginia Tech
       University, a group of Standley Lake High School students founded Day
       Without Hate, a student-led, grassroots organization that promotes
       nonviolence, unity, and respect in schools; and
       
          WHEREAS, Last year, more than 120,000 students in 250 schools, 10
       universities, 14 states, and 4 countries set aside the last Friday of April to
       celebrate Day Without Hate, committing themselves to upholding the
       values of the organization and refusing to live in fear in their own
       schools; and
       
          WHEREAS, The Colorado community holds the responsibility to
       foster an environment of tolerance throughout our diverse community;
       and
       
          WHEREAS, By publicly acknowledging and celebrating Day Without
       Hate, the state of Colorado, in association with Day Without Hate, stands
       with our schools and our youth to promote a culture of nonviolence
       through embracing our differences to build a better and brighter future for
       all of our current and future residents; now, therefore,
       
          Be It Resolved by the Senate of the Sixty-ninth General Assembly of
       the State of Colorado, the House of Representatives concurring herein:
       
          That we, the members of the Colorado General Assembly,
       acknowledge the tireless work of Day Without Hate, recognize the
       necessity of promoting awareness of nonviolence, respect, and unity
       within our educational system, and proclaim April 25, 2014, to be Day
       Without Hate in the state of Colorado.
       
          Be It Further Resolved, That copies of this Joint Resolution be sent to
       Governor John Hickenlooper, the Jefferson County Day Without Hate
       committee, and the Colorado Congressional delegation.
