Happy Princeton Pride 🏳️‍🌈 Thrilled to join @RustinCenter alongside so many wonderful, loving, people to celebrate our LGBTQ+ neighbors. Pride is proof that the joy of acceptance and compassion will always overpower fear and hatred. I'm proud to stand for the former everyday.

With support from AHA's LGBTQ+ Organizer Fund, organizers at the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice hosted nineteen participants from 6 counties to craft vision boards! Leader Brooke Zevon reports that she “could feel the momentum continuing even after people left!"

At a time of racial justice backlash, a call for a full-throated multiracial democracy may seem audacious—it’s also a necessary movement to preserve US democracy at all.

Federal funding for @NEHgov is mandated by law (and has been for 50+ years). Part of the funding then goes to state councils like @NJhumanities, which supports local projects like our Bayard Rustin Queer History Archive. Keep the humanities in our communities. #njhumanities
