John,
Pride is not just a month-long celebration. It’s a constant, year-round commitment to joy, visibility, power, and liberation.
Pride is a movement started by queer and trans people of color, and born out of a resistance to people and authority who refused to acknowledge our humanity as equal to their own. We are a vibrant, diverse community deserving of respect and celebration every day of the year.
We know that no single organization can solve all the problems faced by LGBTQ+ folks across the country. At Equality Federation, we proudly support our state-based partners by providing resources, fostering collaboration, and amplifying their voices. These organizations are the heart of our movement, working tirelessly to protect LGBTQ+ rights at the local level.
This month, we will gather together to honor our past and plan our future. Our voices have the power to build a movement that leaves no one behind and creates lasting change, ensuring every LGBTQ+ person can live freely and authentically in the community they call home
That’s a vision worth fighting for, not just during Pride, but every day of the year.
With gratitude,
