Juneteenth is less than three weeks away and we need your help to spread the word.

Know of a cookout, concert, program, parade or community gathering happening to celebrate? Submit it to the MFP events calendar and we'll get it in front of folks across the state.

And this goes for anything you're putting on in your community: farmers markets, running clubs, town halls, makerspaces—you name it. We're building a statewide calendar that actually reflects what's happening in every part of Mississippi, and we can't do it without you.

Submit your event here: https://hub.cityspark.com/event/submission/MississippiFreePress

You can see our events listing at mfp.ms/events

This Pride Month, we want to be clear: you are not defined by stigma, criminalization, or funding cuts. You are defined by your humanity. 💙

To every LGBTQ+ person living with HIV — you deserve care, dignity, and the freedom to live fully. HIV is not a crime. Your love is not a crime. And we will keep fighting to make sure the law reflects that.

Together in Pride, Ending the HIV Epidemic. 🏳️‍🌈
