Our mission is to promote respect, inclusion, diversity and equality for the LGBTQIA+ community through visibility, education, support, and advocacy with a specific focus in Downriver, Mich.

Our November and December calendar is here and full of gatherings, support spaces, and moments of connection that remind us how powerful community can be. So, whether you're joining us for the first time or returning as a familiar face, you are welcomed with care, respect, and the shared warmth of community.

And as the year draws to a close and we look toward what's ahead, our hearts stay rooted in gratitude. Gratitude for the LGBTQIA+ community whose courage, joy, and brilliance shape everything we do. Gratitude for allies who stand beside us with steady and unconditional love. Gratitude for every act of generosity that helps our mission grow and reach further. Every kindness offered, every story shared, every moment of solidarity has filled our hearts and strengthened our pride.

We end this year profoundly grateful for every voice, every hand, and every heart that has uplifted and empowered our community to shine out loud.

We want to express our heartfelt appreciation to the New York Life team for being part of our Shine Out Loud- Community Open Mic event. Their kindness showed up in so many ways- from volunteering their time and energy to help the day run beautifully, to their impactful donation that will directly support our mission in creating safe spaces for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Support like this does more than fund programs- it reminds us that when community partners come together with shared purpose, real change becomes possible.

We are sincerely grateful for their support and for believing in the work we do. Their support will have a lasting impact, helping us continue to uplift voices, celebrate stories, and amplify the strength within our community.

Thank you New York Life and Laura Darkowski, Financial Services Professional with Nylife Securities LLC - and continue to Shine Out Loud!

Shine Out Loud is fast approaching and we can't wait to celebrate the creativity and joy!

Whether you've been practicing a song, writing a poem, polishing a joke punchline, or just want to share a moment of fun on stage, this open mic is your chance to shine. Kids, adults, seasoned performers, total beginners- everyone gets time to light up the room in their own way.

And we hear performers are already getting ready. We have a guitar number in the works, a poetry recital being rehearsed, and a ventriloquist planning to make an appearance. The lineup is already looking delightfully unpredictable!

Not performing? No problem. Bring your cheers and enjoy an afternoon of fun! We'll have hot dogs, snacks, and good vibes- all free and proudly hosted by Pride in Downriver’s Ally Action Committee.

Come perform, come support, come enjoy- however you join in, we're excited to Shine Out Loud together!

We stand in solidarity with everyone affected by the tragic incident in Tucson. We are heartbroken by the violence and loss experienced there and extend our deepest sympathy to the victims, their families, and the entire Tucson LGBTQIA+ community.
No one should ever face harm for simply living authentically. We must remain committed to supporting one another, advocating for safety, and fostering spaces where every LGBTQIA+ person can exist without fear. Our hearts are with you, Tucson.

September is close by, carrying that classic "I'm not summer, but I'm not fully fall either" attitude.
As we settle into the in-between season, our calendar is always full of amazing ways to connect -so go ahead and mark your favorites.

We're also putting the finishing touches on our next big upcoming event so stay connected to see what we have planned. It's almost reveal ready and we can't wait to share!

And whatever the season decides to be, we'll keep creating spaces that feel warm, steady and supportive, no matter how unpredictable the weather gets.

Love.
