Pride Month is a time to celebrate the vibrant and resilient LGBTQI+ community and recognize the progress of achieving equal justice, rights, and opportunities.   While Pride is a time of joy and love, it's also a moment to honor the courageous origins of this movement. This year, we commemorate the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, a pivotal event in the fight for LGBTQI+ rights.   At Social Impact, we are deeply committed to promoting inclusivity and equity. This #PrideMonth, and every month, SI stands in solidarity with the LGBTQI+ community. Together, we’re creating a more inclusive and supportive world.   Read more about our efforts and how we're contributing here: https://lnkd.in/gPKKxreP
