Throughout the month of June, PRC staff showed up with our LGBTQI+ community to support queer people and their futures. 

We kicked off the month by participating in the installation of The Pink Triangle to take a visible stance against hate. Our staff also mobilized at Trans March to affirm everyone’s right to exist freely and fabulously. We shared heartwarming connections with community members who reflected on the joy of seeing organizations spanning service sectors come together in support of trans liberation. At the end of the month, we had a blast marching alongside thousands of advocates at San Francisco’s Pride Parade.  

We also hosted a “Show Your Pride at Work” day, encouraging PRC staff to dress up and engage in meaningful hands-on activities, including decorating cupcakes using the myriad pride flags as design inspiration.   With more than half of our clients identifying as LGBTQI+, and many of PRC’s staff members using their own LGBTQI+ identities to motivate their service to their community, we call upon you —as allies and community members— to join us in uplifting LGBTQI+ community members alike beyond Pride month. 

When HIV and AIDS ravaged our city in the 1980s, we came together to provide necessary services like emergency financial aid and legal advocacy. Today, our challenges may look different, but that spirit of togetherness remains the same.  

Thank you for joining us in serving our LGBTQI+ community members in the days and years ahead. Together, we stand against hate and stand for taking care of each other in loss, joy, and everything in between.   

In community, 

Chuan Teng, CEO  PRC
