As we celebrate Pride Month, we reflect upon and recognize the progress made by our diverse and vibrant LGBTQ+ community. But Pride is not just about celebration; it's also about acknowledging the work that still needs to be done. Pride began as a riot. The Stonewall Riots of 1969, a watershed moment in LGBTQ+ rights history, remind us of the power of, ‘building communities of resistance,’ and the ways that we gather so that we can grow together!
May marks an important time for two significant observances: Mental Health Awareness Month and Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month.
We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the importance of mental health. We urge you to take care of yourself and those around you, and remember it's okay to seek help when needed.
Join the QTRC and @smsu.api on Tuesday, March 14 from 5 PM - 7 PM for our panel event with our very own, Katrina Sevilla!
