After recent SCOTUS decisions, we're reminded that our freedom and protection under law require vigilant action to maintain, and that these actions impact all gender identities. We leverage our chagrin by advancing inclusive local government leadership - inclusionsummit.org

"CivicPRIDE’s Inclusion Summit is an opportunity to show how our unique identities are not just welcome but also add value to the work of local government. Our lived experiences help to make communities better." Pam Davis, Asst City Manager, Boulder, CO. inclusionsummit.org

After a short delay to keep to GST (Gay Standard Time) we are off and running on the Inclusion Summit!

As the Inclusion Summit gets underway, we are celebrating CivicPRIDE's recent achievement of being recognized as a 501c3 nonprofit organization!

We are in awe of our friends at the Town of Chapel Hill for taking their Municipal Equality Index score from 55 to 100 in just 6 years! No doubt their presentation will inspire ERGs to form in other CivicPRIDE member communities.

"There is always a way to get into the room. Sometimes it is knocking down the door and sometimes it is building the room yourself." Sara Hancock, Stories of Pride speaker and CivicPRIDE board member inspires us to use whatever influence we have to make change.

We are devastated by the news of another terrible tragedy for our LGBTQ+ community just down the road from our CivicPRIDE board members in CO. Our thoughts are with Colorado Springs, Club Q, and our LGBTQ+ family. The work for peace and inclusion remains our most important work.

Save the Date! Our third annual Inclusion Summit will be from 1-5pm ET on Wednesday, June 28th. This year’s Summit will focus on the discrimination transgender and nonbinary individuals are facing across the country, and what actions municipal leaders can take to make an impact.
