Our National Conversation (ONC)

Happy Pride Month! This June, ONC wants to celebrate LGBTQIA+ trailblazers that have fought for equity and compassion for Queer individuals all across the country. Bayard Rustin, an activist that worked with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., fought for the rights of Black and Queer Americans and pushed for better understanding of HIV and AIDS. As the month progresses, we encourage everyone to lift the voices of members of the LGBTQIA+ community to help spread understanding, generosity, and respect! #ONC #OurNationalConversation #Pride #PrideMonth #Activism
