Members of the Lancaster County Commission are seeking to eliminate the Lancaster County Human Relations Commission (HRC), the agency that enforces the county's anti-discrimination ordinance. They say it's a cost cutting move.
Tell the Lancaster County Commissioners not to put a price tag on protecting the civil rights of its residents. The Lancaster County HRC plays a vital role in ensuring that local residents have a place to turn to when they've experienced discrimination.
Show your support of the Lancaster County HRC by attending one of the upcoming Unity Rallies to Defend Civil Rights in Lancaster!
