PFLAG Springfield/SWMO

Tomorrow, June 4th, is our Gun Sense Presentation with PFLAG Springfield/SWMO and Moms Demand Action!
LGBTQ+ people face higher risk of becoming victims of gun violence, and learning more about firearm responsibility and the impacts of gun violence is one way we can protect our community. We hope you will join us to learn together. We're grateful that Moms Demand Action - MO is able to provide this service.
Light refreshments will be served. Our Family Support Group meeting will be held immediately afterwards and will be offered in a Hybrid model - folks who come to the presentation can stay and join others on Zoom. See you soon!

This coming Saturday, June 6th, we were supposed to be celebrating Heartland Pride with our friends in Mansfield. Instead, we'll be returning to the roots of Pride, and joining them in protest. We hope you'll join us in standing up for our neighbors and our community!

Mansfield Pride Protest! · PROMO Protest on the square at 11:00am to fight for our rights! At 1:00pm, we will move to another local park to hang out and celebrate. Bring your signs and chairs or blankets to sit on!

We owe pride to trans women. We owe pride to our LGBTQ+ elders and ancestors. We owe pride to all who put their lives on the line for q***r liberation.

At PFLAG National, we proudly take up the mantle of those who fought before us, and lead with love in pursuit of an accepting, affirming, and equitable world for our LGBTQ+ loved ones.

Happy Pride.🏳️‍🌈🔥
