Dear AFGE Activist,

Happy LGBTQIA+ Pride Month! This annual month-long celebration is a time to honor the diverse identities and experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community and foster understanding, spread awareness, and promote inclusivity, encouraging individuals worldwide to embrace their authentic selves and stand united in solidarity, love, and PRIDE.

This year, there are a number of ways to join WFP and AFGE PRIDE in celebrating LGBTQIA+ history, culture, and community.

Join our AFGE PRIDE Facebook group to keep up with us and learn more about LGBTQIA+ history and culture.

Check out our AFGE PRIDE Toolkit for information about our AFGE PRIDE Program, Coordinators, and Constituency Group, AFGE PRIDE Training materials, and resources for building more LGBTQIA+ inclusive spaces at work and in the union.

Join us for our LGBTQIA+ Mental Health Webinar on Wednesday, June 7, 2023 from 7-8pm ET. Join Deb Friesen, MD, as we learn about LGBTQIA+ mental health. Talking about mental health is not always easy, but it’s important to know how to support our LGBTQIA+ colleagues and friends including how to reduce stigma, spot signs of distress, find LGBTQIA+ competent mental health care, start meaningful judgment-free conversations, and incorporate gratitude practices into daily life.

Join us at Capital Pride in Washington D.C. from June 10-11, 2023. There’s still time to save your spot with WFP and AFGE PRIDE at the Capital Pride Parade on Saturday, June 10, 2023 from 3-7:30pm ET and the Capital Pride Festival on Sunday, June 11, 2023 from 12-7pm ET.

In Solidarity,
