> Ithaca Mayor Svante Myrick will join the latest “Building Unity, Cleaning the Hate” neighborhood clean-up organized by the Ithaca Coalition for Unity and Cooperation in the Middle East (ICUCME, pronounced “I-see-you, see-me”). This year’s clean-up will focus on Wood Street Park and will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 29 at 5:30 pm. Wood Street Park is on Wood Street between S. Meadow and Fair Streets and includes Ithaca Skatepark.
>  
> “Cleaning up your community does more than just show you love this place,” said Mayor Myrick. “It shows you love your neighbor. We need those demonstrations now more than ever -- we need to do more than we ever have.”
>  
> The Wood Street Park cleanup is ICUCME’s third annual “Building Unity: Cleaning the Hate” event. The evening will feature remarks by Mayor Myrick, a clean-up of trash in Wood Street Park and the surrounding area, a vegetarian pot-luck, and a community conversation about what "cleaning the hate" means to each of us. The event is free, and all are welcome.
>  
> “Cleaning the Hate” events are now held around the world. The concept originated with a joint Palestinian-Israeli peace organization and has now been widely adopted by groups such as ICUCME.
>  
> “With hate crimes multiplying across the country -- and the world -- we invite everyone to join us at Wood Street Park for our ‘Building Unity: Cleaning the Hate’ event,” said Linda Glaser, chair of the ICUCME board.
>  
> ICUCME is a grass-roots anti-racist community organization working for plurality and diversity of discussions about the Middle East and other related topics, advocating for peace and security for all.
