In the near future, I will introduce a resolution affirming Pennsylvania’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as a foundation of the American Dream and encouraging certain individuals and groups to adopt and uphold DEI principles.
 
DEI principles promote equal access to opportunities, foster an environment of respect and belonging, and ensure that every individual – regardless of background – can fully participate in all aspects of society. Without DEI, many are unseen and excluded from opportunity; DEI provides the corrective lenses so that they can be seen and included.
 
Anti–DEI activists, politicians, and corporate decision–makers who attempt to prohibit DEI infringe upon the right of individuals to freely express themselves, diminish the diversity of perspectives that strengthen our society, and conflict with antidiscrimination laws.

Please join me in co-sponsoring this resolution to defend DEI principles that promote inclusivity, protect freedom of expression, remove barriers, and provide opportunities for all individuals to pursue their dreams.
