To qualify for full coverage by PA Diversity Network and in the Valley Gay Press, the board of your organization must formally agree to the below statement.


Dear Organization Board Members,

In an effort to establish a base of people and organizations who are against unfair discrimination, PA Diversity Network, the Valley Free Press and other concerned citizens are asking the boards of Greater Lehigh Valley and Berks County organizations to affirm by vote or consensus, this statement:

We believe it would improve the quality of life in the Lehigh Valley and Berks County, if all people were legally protected from unfair discrimination based upon (actual or perceived): race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry or place of birth, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, family status, age, handicap or disability, or use of a guide animal, in the areas of employment, housing, and public accommodation.

Please let us know if your board has agreed to the “statement of anti-discrimination” by mailing, emailing, or faxing us a statement similar to the one below.

An “Honor Roll” list of organizations that have formally approved this statement will appear in the Valley Gay Press each month. If you have questions or need further information, please call PDN at 610-432-5449, email us: lbradbury@padiversity.org.

Thanks for your support,

Liz Bradbury, Executive Vice President PA-Diversity Network
Patricia Sullivan, President, PA-Diversity Network
