Human Relations Commission statewide tour to visit area
HAZLETON – The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) statewide tour will be in Hazleton tonight and Pottsville later this month.
The commission, tasked with enforcing the state’s anti-discrimination laws, is conducting a statewide tour entitled “PHRC on the Road: Building a Beloved Community.”
“This statewide tour will provide a forum where the PHRC can listen and better understand the concerns of the community,” said PHRC Executive Director Chad Dion Lassiter, MSW. “It will also serve as an opportunity to better our Beloved Community, create relationships and partnerships with local leaders and organizations to help them solve controversial issues within communities.”
Tonight, the tour will be at the Hazleton One Community Center at 225 East Fourth Street in Hazleton from 5pm to 6:30pm.
On July 24, the tour will be at the Pottsville Free Public Library from 5pm to 6:30pm. That will be the first stop in Schuylkill County.
Each listening session will include a presentation on the Beloved Community framework and an overview of the services and programs offered by the PHRC.
PHRC is still looking for locations to host upcoming sessions, anyone interested in partnering with the PHRC should contact Stacy Waters at [email protected].
