I am so excited to join the Monrovia Pride Book Festival hosted by Underdog Bookstore and the San Gabriel Valley LGBTQ Center on Saturday, June 20th! This free event, which is open to all ages, will celebrate q***r literature, local vendors and all the joys of Pride Month at Monrovia Library Park. My office and I will be participating in this exciting gathering and will provide information on state resources and a legislative update. I also look forward to recognizing Underdog Bookstore’s Director and Board President, Kealie Mardell-Carrera, as my 2026 Pride Honoree 🏳️‍🌈 Can’t wait to celebrate with you in Monrovia!
