Black History is American History 💛

Juneteenth is a celebration of Black History.
Juneteenth is a celebration of Black Culture.
Juneteenth is a celebration of Freedom.

🌈 Pride Parade → Pride BBQ @ Helen House! 🍔✨

After the parade, come keep the celebration going with Helen House at our community Pride BBQ! Whether you marched with us, cheered from the sidelines, or are just looking for a place to land afterward — you are warmly invited. 💞

We’re hoping to create a joyful, welcoming space for q***r folx, allies, families, youth, and community members to relax, eat, connect, decompress, and celebrate together after a big day of Pride festivities.

We also need a little community support to help make it happen! Donations of any size genuinely help keep this gathering free and accessible for everyone.

Some helpful donation ideas:
🌭 Burgers, hot dogs, veggie options, buns
🥗 Chips, fruit, salads, desserts, snacks
🧃 Soda, sparkling water, juice, ice
🍽️ Plates, napkins, cups, utensils
🛒 Grocery gift cards (Safeway, Fred Meyer, Costco, Grocery Outlet, etc.)
💵 Financial donations toward BBQ supplies

Even something small — a pack of buns, a case of sparkling water, a $10 gift card, or an hour helping grill — makes a real difference. Community care is what makes gatherings like this possible. 🌈

If you’d like to donate, volunteer, or help support the BBQ in another way, please reach out or message us directly!

We are devastated about the tragic loss of Juniper Blessing, a 19-year-old trans woman attending the University of Washington. On May 10th, 2026, Blessing was murdered while doing laundry in her apartment complex. The case is ongoing.

Her passing has been felt throughout the nation. In addition to majoring in climate science, Blessing was an avid member of the UW Chorale, showcasing a breathtaking five-octave vocal range. The world has lost a beautiful soul, once brimming with ambition and life.

We stand in solidarity with the friends and family of Juniper Blessing and demand justice for all the trans lives that have been cut short due to senseless, discriminatory violence.
