Join the Wenatchee Valley Museum and a local panel on Wednesday, June 23 at 7 PM as we continue the conversation in our Social Justice Series by addressing LGBTQIA2S+ Rights. The LGBTQIA2S+ community recognizes June as the Official PRIDE MONTH,  the month of June is the start of pride events all across the globe, extending over several months to folks from all walks of life. PRIDE is an annual celebration of LGBTQIA2S+ identity and a call for equal rights. LGBTQIA2S+ people of all ages continue to suffer from violations of their human rights through discrimination, harassment, and violence. Even state governments often fail to adequately protect LGBTQIA2S+ people from discriminatory treatment in the private sphere, including in the workplace, housing and healthcare.  

Join us on Zoom and Facebook Live as we engage in a thoughtful, inclusive, and open-minded discussion about how we as a community can work to ensure that LGBTQIA2S+ people belong here and can live openly and authentically without discrimination, harassment, or violence.
