Discrimination in all forms, including religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity is not only morally and ethically wrong, it contributes to disproportionate homelessness and unemployment among people with minority characteristics. We thank you for this improvement in your personnel policies, and we hope that you will strongly encourage McDonald's franchise owners to follow suit. Sincerely, Barbara Lamond Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators The above letter was sent on IWG letterhead listing 17 congregations and religious organizations and 63 clergy from 16 religious traditions.
