As a political action committee whose mission is to help elect candidates who support equality, fairness and opportunity for all, Delaware Stonewall PAC honored local pioneers and announced its endorsement of candidates for the 2022 election cycle.

The event was attended by more than 130 residents from Kent, Sussex, and New Castle counties, and featured a keynote address by state Sen. Marie Pinkney, D-Bear. Awards for civil and human rights pioneers were presented to Murray Archibald, co-founder of CAMP Rehoboth; C. Dixon Osburn, co-founder of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, which fought to overturn the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy; and Charlotte King, founder of Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice.

“I was delighted to see the terrific turnout, which I think is a reflection of how critical your mission of promoting acceptance and equality is during this unsettled time in our nation’s history. Keep up the great work! I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with you – not just as an ally, but as an advocate!” said Sen. Trey Paradee, D-Cheswold.

Many state elected officials were present, including presenters Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long and State Treasurer Colleen C. Davis.[2]
