Dear Friends & Family in Our Beloved Community,
I hope these brief updates from our organization find you in good standing. We know that the past few months have not been easy for our community, but despite our collective adversity, we remain committed to our mission of promoting the safety, health, and well-being of LGBTQ people in our communities.
At Diverse and Resilient we stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in calling for an end to racism, police brutality, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, and intolerance. During this month of Pride, we are both reminded and comforted in knowing that it is our people --Queer, Trans, People of Color and our allies; who continue to be at the vanguard for a more just, equitable, and liberated future. As our elder, James Baldwin, so poignantly stated, "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced". Please be safe, no matter how or where you choose to express yourself.
