Dear John —
Yesterday, more than 33,000 people joined us live on Twitch for the unveiling of our 2024 Pride Village — a digital safe space in Minecraft for LGBTQ+ youth to celebrate Pride with community.
Some of Twitch's top streamers joined forced to interpret what Pride means to them, and the builds were truly out of this world amazing.
But don't take our word for it. See for yourself. Watch the live stream tour of Pride Village or, if you have Minecraft, tour it yourself. The server is now open — download the Java edition of Minecraft with your install set to 1.20.6 and then add the server pridevillage.carpercreations.dev (yes, we know for you non-gamers, that was very specific).
The Pride Village server will be open indefinitely, so drop by and hang out anytime. And remember — our Digital Pride fundraiser is still live, and every dollar raised between now and the end of June will be DOUBLED by our friends at e.l.f. Cosmetics! So if you've ever thought of becoming a donor, now is the time.
Happy Pride.
