Hi Rainbows!!
Our Labor Day Unity Celebration is just around the corner on 8/31. As part of our efforts to connect with the community, we are giving away backpacks containing essential school supplies.

There are items available less than $5 up to $19, so ordering any one thing won’t “break the bank.” Please share the link with your members and ask them to donate if they can. We’ll need to fill the backpacks prior to the event, so please share as soon as you can.
Also we are looking for volunteers to man/woman the Rainbow Ridge booth at this event. Please contact Woody with your availability. It’s August 31at 137 Ave A East, Wahneta from 10am to 2pm. We could really use your help!!!!

at
Zest Bar and Grill
315 E Summerlin St Suite A, Bartow, FL 33830
SEE YOU THERE!

The center is a tremendous resource dedicated to the well being of our community in terms of ensuring our healthcare needs are met by professionals with expertise in caring for LGBT patients and preserving and expanding our rights which are in jeapardy due to those who have employed scapegoating as part of their political calculations. For many, the time for equality-minded citizens to stand together to support and protect one another, is more important now than it has ever been during our lifetimes.
Fittingly, with this being Black History Month, let us echo the voice of the late great LGBT and civil rights leader and activist Bayard Rustin, who organized the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the massive gathering that featured Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s “I have a dream speech” .
“We need in every community a group of angelic troublemakers” ~ Bayard Rustin
