As a reminder, the Nebraska Democratic Women's Caucus has opened up its annual scholarships to deserving young women students. The deadline to apply is July 1st. Applicants must be registered Democrats. See details below.

We thank the Women's Caucus for supporting the next generation of progressive leaders in our state.

Every year, we award three scholarships of $500, one in each congressional district, to Democratic women who are either entering college this fall or current college students. Young women are encouraged to fill out and submit this form, that includes an up to 500-word essay on a woman in politics or woman activist that inspires them.

The scholarship is named after Lincoln city councilwoman, Lincoln mayor, and Nebraska trailblazer, Helen Boosalis. She made United States history in 1986 by challenging Kay Orr in the first gubernatorial election fielding women from the two major parties.

In June, we will celebrate Pride Month all month!

What started with the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and pride marches in June, a year later, evolved into a month-long show of solidarity and celebration, honoring the contributions of the LGBTQIA community for decades.

The Pride movement has grown globally with members of the community and allies pushing for gay rights, liberation, inclusion, and the right to live. We stand with members of the q***r community in their struggle for equality and acceptance.

We will continue to honor the sacrifices made for universal acceptance. Get involved with the Nebraska Stonewall Democrats and do your part. To volunteer, donate, or get involved, visit: https://linktr.ee/nestonewalldems
