A Statement from New Profit’s PRIDE Affinity Group

New Profit’s PRIDE Affinity Group is proud to join our colleagues and allies in the community in recognizing Pride Month this June. During a time when members of our community, particularly our friends in the trans community, continue to face an ever-growing barrage of targeted political, physical, and cultural threats to our identities and bodies, Pride is more important than ever. This year, our PRIDE Affinity Group chooses joyful celebration, authentic expression, and unwavering visibility as our objection to national narratives, legislation, and acts of discrimination. We stand hand-in-hand with our community and in partnership with our allies to protect the rights, dignity, and progress of the LGBTQ+ community.”
