Happy Pride Month, Friend!

I’ve declared June 'Pride Month' in the City of Phoenix as we celebrate the equality movement and the many community leaders and organizers who have stood up and fought for the dignity, equality, and legal rights of LGBTQ+ Americans.

I am proud to have the privilege of leading a city that values dignity, respect, and equality for all, no matter who they are or love. 

Last year, Phoenix received a perfect score on the HRC's municipal equality index, and we are determined to earn another perfect score this year to ensure an inclusive city that celebrates its LGBTQ+ community.

As we recommit to our work in making our city a place where all individuals feel accepted, we celebrate the work of the brave activists and community organizers who continue to inspire our fight towards a more equitable future.

Wishing you a safe and happy Pride Month,
