The impact doesn’t stop on June 1. 🌈

We are honored to be part of the inaugural Elton John Impact Awards alongside CenterLink: The Community of LGBT Centers and other organizations and changemakers working to build a more inclusive future for LGBTQ+ communities.

Support from the Elton John Impact Awards, proctergamble, and lookingoutfoundation helps CenterLink strengthen and support more than 375 LGBTQ community centers and organizations like ours nationwide — expanding access to mental health support, youth programs, health services, advocacy, and safe spaces for connection and belonging.

Thank you for celebrating these stories of impact with us. 💙

This month we're harnessing the Power of Pride! In 1969, LGBTQ+ folks took a stand for freedom, equality and inclusion. Today, we continue to build on their efforts to ensure all people, including LGBTQ+ children, youth, adults and families are safe, welcome, included, supported, respected, valued and heard.

This Pride month, Ohioans have a chance to secure the rights first called for at the Stonewall Inn by signing the Ohio Equal Rights Amendment and the Ohio Right to Marry Amendment. These amendments will guarantee equality not only for LGBTQ+ people, but for all vulnerable Ohioans, including transgender and intersex youth and adults, people with disabilities, veterans, and people in recovery. These amendments will also protect our families, including same-sex couples and in*******al couples.

Take action for equality by joining us in harnessing the power of Pride throughout the month of June to sign the petitions. Find a petition to sign in Darke County:

-> Fridays at the Circle in Greenville from 5:30-7:30pm
-> Saturdays at the Center from 11:00-1:00pm
-> Other special events to be posted

Interested in joining the Leadership & Civic Engagement Crew? We're looking for folks who would be interested in learning more about the civic engagement process and collecting signatures in towns throughout Darke County, including Greenville, Ansonia, Versailles, Arcanum, Wayne Lakes, and more! Sign Up here to get involved! https://forms.gle/NK68tgFDDA1PTom58
