ABINGTON, April 14 – State Rep. Ben Sanchez, D-Montgomery, today announced that three places of worship within his legislative district received grants to strengthen their safety and security measures. Funding, which comes from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, has been distributed as follows: Temple Sinai: $25,000. Abington Monthly Meeting Inc.: $24,200. Lubavitch of Abington Inc.: $25,000. “Everyone has the right to freely and openly practice their religion. It is disheartening that such security measures are needed at places of worship, but funding like this helps preserve this constitutional right and ensure everyone’s safety,” Sanchez said. Grants may be used for initiatives including, but not limited to: safety and security planning, purchase of safety and security equipment, safety and security training, vulnerability and threat assessments, and purchase of security-related technology such as metal detectors and surveillance equipment. Information about the PCCD is available here . For more information, contact Sanchez’s office at 215-517-6800. Read more

Testimony at the hearing from those who have struggled through this process made it clear that swift legislative reform the name change process and remove some of the legal barriers the LGBTQ+ community faces when living as their authentic selves. "There are far too many barriers for the transgender community in Pennsylvania across the board – legally, socially and economically. As lawmakers, we can and must take bold steps to make life more equitable and inclusive in the Commonwealth. Now is the time to stand with and in support of transgender Pennsylvanians, which this legislative package will accomplish. In addition, changing our outdated and lengthy name change process will make Pennsylvania more efficient as a state,” said Senator Amanda Cappelletti (D-17). “Taking this step just makes Read more
