A Month of Celebration

By Lincoln YPG in News

June is a month for celebration and reflection. Check out our social media channels this week as we share history, the progress made, and future work to be done for LGBTQ+ Pride, Juneteenth, and Immigration Heritage Month. We will also be highlighting organizations and businesses that support these topics. While conversations are plentiful on these topics during June we believe every day, 365 days a year, conversations need to happen. YPG is proud to have a history of advocating for equality through the state and local legislative process. We challenge you to share your knowledge surrounding these communities with us so we can continue to learn together. We encourage you to visit BIPOC, immigrant or LGBTQ+ locally owned businesses and share your pictures with us on instagram throughout the week. 

We have started a collection of valuable resources for you to refer back to. We will continue to update this list as new resources are submitted via instagram.
