Resolution Condemning Systemic Racism

At the July 20 Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting, a resolution was signed condemning systemic racism related to ethnicity and skin tone. The Board of Supervisors resolves that Ferguson Township is committed to combating bias and racism in its provision of all public services.

Ferguson Township welcomes all persons regardless of race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion, disability, genetic information, protected veterans status, military service, nationality, or national origin of citizenship status; and supports policies that do the same.

This coincides with a proclamation adopted by the Board of Supervisors in June condemning acts of bias that result in hate crimes or discrimination against a person(s) because of race, faith, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or any other real perceived difference. 2020 was not the only year this has been done; the Board adopted Resolution 2016-36 affirming commitment to equity and inclusion, and Resolution 2017-7 reaffirming its commitment to supporting, promoting. and standing up for the values of inclusion, equity, and justice respectively.

Please continue to make Ferguson Township a safe and inclusive place to live and work.
