Together We Persisted. We Resisted. And We Won! 

Standing beside a “Hate Has No Home Here” banner, Lehigh County Executive Phillips Armstrong, Commissioner Amy Zanelli and Adrian Shanker, executive director of the Bradbury Sullivan LGBT Community Center, announced and issued an administrative notice Wednesday. The action directs department heads to “ensure that discrimination by reason of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression or disability does not exist” in the county’s selection of contractors, in hiring workers or in any labor associated practices.
