An Open Letter to Mayor and Council, Town of Newmarket on Snap'd


An Open Letter to Mayor and Council, Town of Newmarket

It has recently come to my attention that the CEO of Snap’d posted a revolting photo on social media depicting his face transposed on to the body of a starving child. 
Such a depiction is not only racist, it is also dehumanizing. 

I would like you to note that his publication, Snap’d, is available in the vestibule of the Newmarket municipal building and it is displayed in other town owned facilities as well. 
The Town of Newmarket must send a clear message to the community that it does not make light of racism nor starvation.  Neither racism nor starvation is a matter to laugh about. 

Please do the right thing and order the Snap’d publications removed from all municipally owned facilities. 

Sincerely,

Nwkt Town Hall Watch
