And if you're on IG, don't forget to follow us -- @pridedurhamnc
------------------------------
Let's be honest -- we didn't get to honor our trans and nonbinary
community members last year as intended, and their courage and leadership
are still worth centering and celebrating, so we are happy to lift up the same theme
"GIVE THEM THEIR FLOWERS" with renewed enthusiasm and excitement.
Again, we intend to commemorate our ancestors who sowed
past seeds that still bear fruit today and to pay tribute to the LGBTQ+ people
who are alive and help us be our best selves now, embodying our greatest values
and visions for a more whole and liberated Durham, North Carolina.
"NO PRIDE FOR SOME OF US WITHOUT LIBERATION FOR ALL OF US!"
