The following went out on IWG letterhead listing 10 congregations and religious
organizations and 39 clergy from 13 faiths and denominations. If you are in 
the general Philadelphia area and represent a congregation or religious 
organization or are clergy, let us know if you want to be added - all faiths 
are welcome. We will also be happy to help start similar organizations in 
other areas.

Dear Mr. Davis:

We were pleased to hear that you will be increasing
the number of airings of public service announcements
related to sexual minorities.  Visibility contradicts
stereotypes, and the contradiction of stereotypes is
the most effective deterrent to hate and hate-related
crimes.  We hope that your news coverage and other
local programming will continue to reflect the sexual
and religious diversity of Philadelphia's population.

Sincerely,
Barbara Purdom     Christopher Purdom
