Food Insecurity Awareness Month
Pride Month
Pride Month is important because it’s a time to celebrate acceptance, love, resiliency, and creating a more compassionate world! It’s an annual celebration that got its roots from the Stonewall riots back in June 1969. The Stonewall Uprising served as a turning moment in the American Gay Liberation Movement. This month honors and demonstrates the global advancement of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as serves as a reminder of the hardships the community has faced in achieving equality and acceptance and gives people a chance to proudly express who they are. It draws attention to the difficulties and prejudices that the community faces. More significantly, though, Pride Month creates community building, educating, and advocacy while providing a platform for empowerment and belonging.
Importance of Pride Month:
Visibility and representation
