LWVFL DEI Taskforce Hosts Pride Month Celebration
About this event
As League members, we know the power of standing together and ensuring that all voices are heard. June is Pride Month—dedicated to celebrating the identities and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community.
Tracing its roots back to the June 1969 Stonewall Inn uprising in NYC, Pride Month is both a celebration and a protest. Pride is often associated with massive parades and parties that honor the community’s joys and accomplishments. But the rallies, marches and political actions can be just as important to draw attention to the issues still facing the community. The issues still exist and, in some cases, the rights of LGBTQ+ people are being restricted and denied as some state legislatures introduce a record number of bills targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
Join the League of Women Voters of Florida on June 25at 6:30 p.m. (ET) as we host Equality Florida’s Anita Caeson and Angelique Godwin who will discuss the contributions, accomplishments and struggles of the LGBTQ+ community..
