Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for our Rainbow Bagel Breakfast at the gazebo! Thank you to the Jefferson Dems for sponsoring the bagels and to Lox, Stocked and Bageled for doing such a good job with them! Thanks to All Roads Bakery for the wonderful gluten-free blueberry crumble too! It was a pleasure to see everyone and be in community with you. As promised, keep an eye on this page for some updates in the near future about connecting a volunteer organizing team for the next one. We are so grateful for you all. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

Please remember how loved, worthy, valued and needed you are. You have so much time ahead of you. Who knows what that time will bring? Maybe it will hold more joy than you have ever known. Stay to find out. ❤️🙏🏳️‍🌈 One bully, no matter how powerful, can not prevail over an entire people for long.

Echoing the message below. To our LGBTQ friends: you are wonderful, you are worthy of love, respect and acceptance, and you deserve to be safe in all spaces you occupy. Including and especially at school.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 1 for our fifth annual Pride Flag raising. We look forward to celebrating you there!

Wishing love, strength and solidarity to everyone having feelings about the hateful people going to school board meetings in packs demanding rollbacks of inclusive libraries and resources. The problem is them, not you. You are beautiful just as you are. If bullies have a problem with it, that's their life journey to solve, not yours. You keep being your authentic, beautiful self. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️
