Our administrative coordinator Lacy designed a new logo to celebrate our independent 501(c)3 status and our expansion from "Advocacy" to "Action." She also designed new MUUSAN placards for Pride! Keep an eye out for our new banners (here shown off by board co-chair Michaela) and our 'Unitarian Universalists Have Pride' signs at Pride celebrations all month long.
