This gathering is for those with lived experience as members of historically minoritized racial groups (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) If you do NOT share this lived experience, please consider attending other Pride Across the Bridge events instead, such as Rainbow Elder Breakfast, Queer the Table, and Beyond Binary Connections.
In September, we will be hanging out at the Welcoming Week celebration organized in partnership with other community groups. There will be art-making activities, sound healing, live music and games.
