Pride is important - it is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of our community. It is a time to honor the past, celebrate the present, and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future. And it is a defiant, joyful demonstration of our right to exist, love, and be celebrated for exactly who you are. Thank you all for exemplifying these truths in everything you do!
