Ihhovisi Ledolobha Lase-Philadelphia Lokuhlukahluka Nokufakwa manje seliyiHhovisi Lokuhlukahluka, Ukulingana Nokufakwa - okuphawula imizamo yedolobha yokubeka ukulingana njengento ehamba phambili.

KuNolan Atkinson, Isikhulu Esiyinhloko SeDolobha Lokuhlukahluka, Ukulingana Nokufakwa, ukuguqulwa kwegama kukhombisa indlela i-Philadelphia ezama ngayo ukuthatha indima yobuholi ekumiseni ukwehlukahlukana, ukulingana, kanye nokufaka izinqubo ezinhle kakhulu emkhakheni womphakathi okuhlanganisa nokuthuthukiswa kwesu lokuLingana koMhlanga ibheka ukuhlonza nokuqeda ukungalingani kwezinhlanga okudalwe futhi kugqugquzelwa uhulumeni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, u-Atkinson uthi ihhovisi, elinikezwe amandla yiMeya uJim Kenney, lizama ukusiza ukwakha abasebenzi abanamakhono, abahlukahlukene kuzo zonke izinhlaka zikahulumeni weDolobha.

U-Kenney usanda kusayina i-oda lokuphatha elisungula ihhovisi, futhi wengeza amahhovisi e-LGBT Affairs kanye ne-People With Disabilities ngaphansi kwewashi lika-Atkinson.

"Inhloso yethu esikufisayo wukuba nabasebenzi bakamasipala ababukeka njengedolobha lasePhiladelphia," kusho u-Atkinson, oseneminyaka engu-50 esebenza kuleli dolobha. Isibalo sabantu baseFiladelphia singamaphesenti angama-43 amnyama, amaphesenti angama-35 amhlophe, amaphesenti angama-15 eLatinx, namaphesenti angama-7 ase-Asia.

Kwabaningi, umbono wePhiladelphia uchazwe kakhulu ngabantu abamhlophe nabamnyama. Kodwa-ke, eminyakeni yamuva nje, kuye kwenziwa imizamo eyengeziwe izinhlangano kulo lonke idolobha ukukhombisa ukwehlukahlukana kwemiphakathi yase-Latinx yase-Philadelphia, kanye nenqwaba yabantu base-Asia American ababiza iPhiladelphia ikhaya.

U-Atkinson uthi idolobha liphinde likhulise imizamo yalo yokuthobela umthetho i-Americans With Disabilities Act kanye nokulwa nokucwaswa kwabantu abakhubazekile. Ihhovisi kulindeleke ukuthi likhiphe umbiko ngo-2020 oveza ukungafani kwedolobha lonke ekuhlinzekeni ngezindawo zokuhlala ze-ADA, okuhlanganisa nohlelo lokuthi idolobha libhekane nokungafani okuhlonziwe.

Ngokufanayo, imizamo ye-Philadelphia yokwamukela umphakathi we-LGBTQ+ izuze ukuqashelwa kuzwelonke. U-Atkinson uthi uKenney uqondisa idolobha ukuthi andise ukufinyelela kwe-LGBTQ+, futhi aqinisekise ukuthi umkhumbi wabambisene uyamukelwa phakathi kwazo zonke izikhungo zikahulumeni nezizimele. NgoNovemba, iqembu likazwelonke le-LGBTQ+ elimela i-Human Rights Campaign liqambe i-Philadelphia "idolobha lezihlabani" ngokubandakanywa kwalo kumalungu omphakathi we-LGBTQ+. I-Philadelphia ithole amaphuzu aphelele angu-100 ku-HRC's Municipal Equality Index.

Wengeze ngokuthi ngesikhathi sobunzima emiphakathini eminingi yabokufika, iPhiladelphia ivula iminyango yabasanda kufika. “Ukhula kanjalo idolobha,” kusho u-Atkinson.

Ngokuvumelana ne Pew, inani labantu abazalelwa kwamanye amazwe ePhiladelphia likhule cishe ngamaphesenti angama-70 phakathi kuka-2000-2016, okwenza cishe amaphesenti angu-15 yenani labantu bedolobha. Umbiko we-Pew uphawula ukuthi abokufika “yibo ababangela ukwanda kwedolobha izakhamuzi nezisebenzi, futhi baye bakhulisa isibalo sezingane nosomabhizinisi.”

Imizamo ye-Philadelphia ibonisa ukuqashelwa okubanzi phakathi kwamadolobha ahehayo - nokugcina - abahlali nabaqashi kuxhunywe nokuxhumana nababambiqhaza abahlukahlukene.

U-Atkinson uzokwabelana ngezinye zezindlela ezihamba phambili zedolobha engqungqutheleni ezayo ye-Philadelphia Diversity & Inclusion, ngoMashi 30-31. Le ngqungquthela iwumbuthano ovelele wabaholi abacabangayo nabanamandla, abaphathi, izishoshovu nezifundiswa ukuze babelane ngemikhuba engcono kakhulu futhi bachaze kabusha ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuhlukahluka, ukulingana, nokufaka phakathi Ekhulwini Lama-21. Izikhulumi eziqavile zizobandakanya u-Kenney, uMongameli we-Temple University u-Richard Englert kanye ne-philanthropist yomhlaba wonke kanye nosomabhizinisi uNina Vaca, kanye namazwi akhulayo kazwelonke nawendawo anokuqonda okusha kokuthi kwenziwa kanjani ukuhlukahluka nokufakwa ingxenye ebalulekile yanoma yimuphi umkhakha nesikhungo.
