Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2013 - 2014 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: October 8, 2015 02:27 PM
From: Senator Patrick M. Browne
To: All Senate members
Subject: Designating the week of October 19 through 23, 2015, as "No Place for Hate Week" in Pennsylvania.
 
In the near future, I will introduce a resolution designating the week of October 19 through 23, 2015, as “No Place for Hate Week” in Pennsylvania.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was founded in October 1913, to fight anti-Semitism and to “secure justice and fair treatment to all.” Now as one of the nation's premier civil rights/human relations agencies, ADL continues the fight against anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, defends democratic ideals and protects civil rights for all. As part of the organization’s efforts, the “No Place for Hate” program was established as an outreach effort designed to empower schools and communities to challenge racism, hatred, anti-Semitism, and bigotry. By reducing bias and increasing appreciation for diversity, “No Place for Hate” is an innovative and powerful method for building communities of respect. “No Place for Hate” has proven to be an invaluable resource to communities throughout the Commonwealth.

In recognition of the many accomplishments of “No Place for Hate”, I will be sponsoring a resolution designating the week of October 19 through 23, 2015 as “No Place for Hate Week” in Pennsylvania.

I invite all members to co-sponsor this important legislation.
