Hello, beloved fam! The news is bleak. Not gonna sugarcoat it. How are you doing? Do you need resources? https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/nasty-parting-shot-hhs-finalizes-rule-axing-lgbtq-nondiscrimination-protections-n1253959?cid=sm_npd_nn_fb_ot&fbclid=IwAR3NzZJHdF6JGy99b8WzAN1gSJsPRmgOgT-faGpj-PnK5CqvQU081yjHbpA

Under the new Health Department rule, taxpayer-funded adoption agencies can refuse to acknowledge same-sex marriages and turn away qualified LGBTQ parents.

We usually hold our Pride event in August. This year, we are opting not to have an in-person event because we know that marginalized people are at greater risk of dying (or, let’s be real, going into medical bankruptcy) from covid-19.

Instead of the usual, what do you need, our beautiful and diverse MV LGBTQIA+ community? Resources? Money? Put your dreams in the comments and let’s see what we can do.

We still have $50 left for matching donations from our generous friend April Grossruck! Thank you to everyone who’s donated so far!

UPDATE! We have a donor willing to match another $100! Together we could raise $400 dollars!

BLACK LIVES MATTER. Send us proof of donation to The Freedom Fund or the National Bail Out and we’ll match it up to $100. It’s not much, but it’s what we can do. Stay safe at protests, support Black owned businesses, and we’ll see you in the streets sooner or later. 🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

The Freedom Fund posts bond to secure the release and safety of LGBTQ people in jail and immigration detention.

Thank you, Senator Liz Lovelett, for calling us to action this afternoon. Your solidarity is everything! 🙌
Mount Vernon Pride stands with Latinx folx in our community against ICE, against white supremacy, and against white violence.
