?? Project Rainbow Utah: Proud Diversity Sponsors ?? We're excited to share that Project Rainbow Utah is serving as a Diversity Sponsor at this year’s KubeCon! Despite the complex decision to host in Utah amid recent anti-trans and anti-DEI legislation, we’re grateful for this opportunity to make our presence known, amplify our mission, and create connections with tech leaders and potential funders who value diversity and inclusion. Thanks to the generosity of the organizers, we were able to distribute 15 free tickets to our community and were also awarded an honorarium to support our operational capacity. We’re honored to stand beside so many advocates and allies, showing the strength and resilience of our LGBTQIA+ community. Don't miss our Executive Director, Jacey Thornton, who will join the LGBTQIA+ Advocacy Session on Wednesday, November 14, from 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM for a fireside chat about the current climate for the queer community in Utah and ways to better support our LGBTQ+ peers more broadly. #ProjectRainbowUtah #TransgenderAwarenessWeek #TransAwarenessWeek #DEIMatters

Back-to-School prep is in full swing! Sign your youth up for this event where they can get a haircut, makeup pointers, nails polished, clothing swap, and a backpack full of supplies and swag! We have donated 50 garden flags to support the youth that will be participating in this event! Our Executive Director, Jacey Thornton, will also speak about the importance of community support to lift up our youth during the next school year.

We are proud to partner with our friends at Craft Lake City to sponsor an LGBTQ Scholarhip this year! We also collaborated on an initiative where exhibitors could donate $10 and receive a flag to show their support for our community and our Community Fund. With the 50+ crafters that supported this initiative, we have been able to raise enough funds to cover 2 scholarships next year! Community supporting community is core to what we do at Project Rainbow, as is economic empowerment! With amazing partners like Craft Lake City, we will continue to lift up and empower our queer community!

We are excited to connect with the Encircle community tonight! Our Executive Director, Jacey Thornton, will be discussing how community symbols foster a sense of attunement. These symbols play a crucial role in enhancing life satisfaction and promoting healthier, longer lives by helping us embrace our intersecting identities and find supportive communities of care.
