The Plymouth chapter of “No Place for Hate” has been rebranded to “Plymouth for All Committee”. The name change reflects a more inclusive approach and that the organization is not affiliated with the national No Place for Hate program of the Anti-Defamation League.
The Plymouth For All Committee is a committee of town government, with members appointed by the Plymouth Select Board.
The focus of the Plymouth for All committee remains stalwart. The group is dedicated to fostering a community that values diversity, promotes inclusion, and ensures that all people are treated with dignity and respect. In addition to changing their name, Plymouth For All is changing their approach to actively opposing hate, bias, injustice, and discrimination by implementing a new and improved strategic plan.
Plymouth For All can be found on the town of Plymouth’s website at – https://www.plymouth-ma.gov/697/Plymouth-for-All-Committee
The committee consists of 13 seats for Plymouth residents who are appointed by the Plymouth Select Board – including 11 seats for adults and 2 seats for Plymouth High School students. Meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 7:00pm ET at Town Hall — all are welcome to attend.
Peter Matlon, chair of the Committee, noted, “Our new strategy emphasizes our ambition to play a more active role in policy advocacy within town government – and our commitment to build working relationships with marginalized communities.”
In addition to Peter Matlon, Committee members include Christina Bryant, Linda Jones, Meghan Neutzling, Jonathan Plate, Keyana Adarkwah, David E. Brown, Peggy Grimes, Stephen Karam, Sophie Speliopoulos, Michelle Tirella Ventura, Sarah Jane Engel, and Zachary Thomas Hogge.
