June: Food Insecurity Awareness Month, Pride Month, PTSD Awareness Month

June 1, 2024 - June 30, 2024

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.
