As you may have heard, HACC faculty are the only community college faculty in the state of Pennsylvania that are not unionized. The faculty have worked diligently over the past year to change that. The state Labor Relations Board has scheduled a hearing with union partner PSEA and college administration in March to review the formal request for a union vote.
A strong HACC is a strong community. Faculty are gaining momentum in community support from people like John Fetterman who tweeted his support of faculty unionizing on February 22 and Eugene DePasquale who tweeted support on February 24. To continue the momentum, faculty are asking community members to sign a petition that calls on the college president and the Board of Trustees to discontinue their anti-union campaign and agree to support faculty in their desire to unionize. Sign the petition today and support the HACC faculty. |

I AM A DEMOCRAT!
I AM the party of the union worker, the minimum wage earner, the person struggling to make a livable wage. I AM the party who believes in healthcare for all, help for the mentally ill and addicted and for those with pre-existing conditions. I AM the party who believes that sexual orientation is not a basis for discrimination. I AM the party that believes all men are created equal in the eyes of the law, regardless of race, creed, or nationality. I AM the party of the immigrant, the minority, those who work with their hands and those who work with their minds, those in professions and those in vital service industries. I AM the party of the Veteran—who gave more to this country than most of us can possibly imagine. I AM the party of the child, the woman, the elderly. I AM the party of those who believe that our children should not live in fear. I AM ever changing, willing to reach out to a fluid society and tackle each obstacle that materializes. I AM A DEMOCRAT. |
Adams County Democratic Committee stands solidly in support of Black Lives and the right of the people to peacefully assemble and make their grievances known.
We denounce white supremacy and police violence in all its forms.
We are appalled by the murder of George Floyd and other people of color by police.
We do NOT condone violence and looting at protests; violence on all sides must end.
We condemn attacks on peaceful protesters and the use of regular military and Federal law enforcement against peaceful protesters.
Virtually every recent Federal and State legislation to grant Civil Rights to all citizens has been spearheaded by Democrats; it is incumbent on today’s Democrats to follow that lead.
We charge our elected officials to continue, improve and expand those efforts. We condemn the efforts in several states to whittle away at these protections. Institutionalized racism must end.
These are turbulent times, with pain, anger, sadness, and fear; they require that communities beyond just the ones under attack stand up and speak out.
Racism, white supremacy, and state-sanctioned violence are issues we all need to stand against.
Now is the time to do everything we can to question and modify the systems that perpetuate racial injustice in policing, health care, employment, housing, voting, and more.
Silent agreement is not enough – it can be seen as supporting the status quo. Our voices are needed.
It behooves all of us who are not of the communities of color to educate ourselves about the silent, insidious, unaware racism that surrounds us. Resources are available from many organizations, including the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Teaching Tolerance” materials (www.splccenter.org/teaching-tolerance ), and those from STAND earth (www.STAND.earth ).
Campaign Zero has a list of 8 things that can reduce police violence by 72%. Find more information at www.8cantwait.org
Ban chokeholds and strangleholds Require reporting of all force
Require de-escalation Duty to intervene
Require warning before shooting Establish use of force continuum
Exhaust all alternatives before shooting Ban shooting at moving vehicles
These suggestions are among many helping to provide effective ways to channel our energy in support of Black Lives and systemic reform. We truly hope that this can be our moment of transformative change.
Adams County Democratic Committee will be supporting local advocacy efforts and coordinating with established and ad hoc groups who are keeping this incredibly important matter visible and audible.
We will make our members and friends aware of events such as the peaceful protests over police brutality held in Gettysburg and Hanover and the petition for information from local police departments requested by Gettysburg Rising.
And we will support Vice President Biden, Governor Wolf and Senator Casey in their efforts toward making our country and our Commonwealth more just and equal for all, especially including the all-important November 3rd election to put Democrats back in charge.
