The Fishers City Council issued a statement Monday night on June as Pride Month.  Councilwoman Crystal Newmann read the proclamation on behalf of the council.

“In 2016, we (the Fishers City Council) acted by claiming Fishers as a community that would not stand for discrimination of any kind, stemming from a person’s sex, race, color, nationality, origin, religion, disability, age or gender identity,” the statement says in part.  “That dedication continues today from standing alongside students and parents to advocate for comprehensive anti-discrimination policies within our school system to instilling these policies into city’s operations.”
