🌈 Pride Season is here! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
June kicks off a time to celebrate the vibrant history, culture, and contributions of 2SLGBTQI+ communities. It’s also a moment to reflect on the legacy of the Stonewall Riots in 1969, an event that ignited a global movement for 2SLGBTQI+ rights and continues to inspire change today.
Pride shows up in so many powerful ways, through parades, art, advocacy, learning, and joy. It’s about lifting each other up, making space for all voices, and standing together to challenge discrimination while building more inclusive, accepting communities.
At Archway, we stand with the 2SLGBTQI+ community. By fostering visibility, safety, and celebration of our 2SLGBTQI+ co-workers, family members, and neighbours, we are are in alignment with our Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) goals to build a more inclusive and equitable community for all.
Here are a few ways to take part and show your support:
✨ Join local Pride events, parades, or community celebrations
✨ Connect with 2SLGBTQI+ friends, family, neighbours, and elders
✨ Learn about the community’s history and current issues and share that knowledge
✨ Support 2SLGBTQI+ owned businesses
While Pride Season is a time of celebration and visibility, it is important to remember that activism and support is not a seasonal activity, particularly in the face of rising hate crime rates against the 2SLGBTQI+ community.
Let’s celebrate, uplift, and stand together, this month and every month 🌈
