Hey y’all, URGE virtual Pride planning is well under way! In addition to our fun queer movie night, “Popcorn and Pride”,and of course uplifting GRAD DRAG, we are working on creating state-specific resource sheets to support our members in celebrating pride virtually this year
In recognition of Pride month, URGE has worked to create Pride guides for each state that we work in. These guides contain queer & trans led organizations, local businesses, upcoming events, and much more, although we acknowledge theses are not comprehensive guides.
