How PA addresses rising racial tensions Face to Face builds community in Germantown

As we’re seeing ICE activity increased, DEI efforts rolled back, LGBTQ+ protections removed, and historical exhibits about slavery taken down, many are concerned that we are moving backwards in terms of civil rights. The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission handles complaints and upholds civil rights laws here in the commonwealth. Racquel Williams speaks with them about what they’re hearing from the community and how they’re trying to bring people together to fight for equal rights for all. Then, Shara Dae Howard visits Face to Face , a neighborhood community center and safe haven for Germantown individuals and families experiencing poverty. They’ve seen even more need lately with the bitter cold and changes to SNAP benefits. Shara talks with staff, volunteers, and neighbors who say they found a healing community when they walked through the doors.
