We had a blast at @yakimapride.org! Thank you to Yakima Pride for organizing this event and to all the incredible LGBTQ bands and drag queens. We had the pleasure of handing out lube, condoms, and pregnancy tests to folks who stopped by our table.

Pride is a celebration but it is also a revolution and a protest. Queer people deserve to be seen, respected, and supported. We see you and we support you. We'll be attending Pride events this summer. First stop, @yakimapride.org this Saturday!

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the six million Jewish lives systematically murdered by the Nazi regime, and all the victims of its ideology, including Roma, disabled individuals, political dissidents, and LGBTQ+ people.
Pink upside down triangle with large words, International Holocaust Remembrance Day and small type underneath, “Today, as we see the rising tides of authoritarianism, xenophobia, and targeted persecution around the world—and as we witness the devastating impacts of invasive policies on immigrants and marginalized communities in our own nation—the imperative of remembrance is not only about the past. It is a call to action for the present.

The lesson of "Never Again" is a lesson of active vigilance. It demands that we stand together, speak out against the dehumanization of any group, and protect the vulnerable. We remember the past to illuminate the dangers of the present, and to reaffirm our collective commitment to human dignity, equality, and justice for all.“

On April 16, 1963, writing from the confines of a jail cell, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. responded to critics who called his actions “unwise and untimely.” He did not offer an apology; he offered a lesson on the mechanics of justice.
An artistic rendering of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., looking forward with a solemn and hopeful expression. Text overlaid on the image reads: 'TIED IN A SINGLE GARMENT OF DESTINY. WHATEVER AFFECTS ONE DIRECTLY, AFFECTS ALL INDIRECTLY. — DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.' The background features subtle colors of the Yakima Pride brand colors blended with warm, sunrise tones.
