Get ready for an inspiring evening in Philadelphia!

Join us on Wednesday, July 22 at 6:00 PM for Building Allyship Across Identities - a lively, interactive conversation about belonging, representation, and the power of working together across communities.

Executive Directors from the Governor’s Advisory Commissions on African American Affairs, Latino Affairs, AAPI Affairs, Women, LGBTQ Affairs, Next Generation Engagement, and People with Disabilities will come together for a dynamic discussion on connection, collaboration, and what it means to build a more connected future across lived experiences.

This event is all about moving beyond silos, lifting each other up, and imagining what’s possible when we work side‑by‑side. If you’re passionate about strengthening community, fostering understanding, or helping shape a more connected Pennsylvania, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Join us, bring your voice, and be part of envisioning a stronger, more unified Commonwealth. Register here: www.eventbrite.com/e/building-allyship-across-identities-seeing-intersectionality-as-strength-tickets-1989221868156

Our Commonwealth is home to over half a million Pennsylvanians who trace their ancestry to Asia and the Pacific Islands.

As we kick off AAPI Heritage Month, we’ll continue to celebrate the contributions and rich heritage of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have helped make our Commonwealth a more vibrant and welcoming place for all.

Over 7,500 voices — and counting.

Women across Pennsylvania are speaking up, sharing their experiences, and shaping the future through the State of the Woman Report survey. This is what collective power looks like: when individual stories come together to drive real change.

Every response helps paint a clearer picture of women’s lives, challenges, and opportunities - ensuring this report reflects reality, not just numbers.

There’s still time to be part of it. Add your voice and help build one of the most comprehensive looks at the status of women in PA in over 20 years.

The survey closes May 30. Don’t miss your chance to be heard: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/stateofthewoman

Lori and I want to wish a joyous Holi to all Pennsylvanians celebrating.

May this festival of colors remind us that by spreading love and finding light, there is nothing that we can’t overcome together.
