Celebrating Pride
Last week, Adrienne Keel, our Director of LGBTQ Programs, was honored to receive the City of San Jose Pride Month Proclamation at City Hall. The Proclamation honors and celebrates the history and legacy of LGBTQ+ pioneers, activists, and allies.
You may watch the Proclamation and Adrienne's brief, but inspiring and impactful, remarks here.
Happy Pride!
