Celebrate Pride Month! Enjoy local queer speaker Fran Wilson, music from DreamStates, crafts, and resource centers: Bayard Rustin LGBTQ Center, Hope & Healing, CANAPI, and more. Refreshments served.
This all-ages event will feature local speaker Fran Wilson, a queer organizer; a chance to interact with local resource centers, including Bayard Rustin LGBTQ Center, Hope & Healing, CANAPI, and more; and an opportunity to pick up information from the Summa Pride Clinic.
We will also have Pride-themed crafts and music from local performers DreamStates.
Comprised of Natalie Martin, Madeline Eckhart, Jo Heil, and Billy Pifflestock, DreamStates formed in 2017, and is an all-transgender band from Wadsworth, Ohio. The band proudly flies the flags for the transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming communities. Their music is bright and poppy with an energetic spirit and bright colors everywhere.
Bayard Rustin LGBTQIA Resource Center is the home of the Akron AIDS Collaborative, a safe space for Black individuals to gather and find services tailored to their experience, while also welcoming people of all other races.
Every day, CANAPI Akron helps empower LGBTQ+ people and people living with HIV/AIDS to live safe, healthy, and joyful lives by providing access to the support and resources they need most. Through education, outreach, advocacy, and support services, we’re building a safer, more inclusive community, free from shame and stigma.
Hope & Healing Survivor Resource Center is home of the Battered Women's Shelter and Rape Crisis Center of Summit and Medina Counties. Their mission is to advocate and support survivors of intimate partner and sexual violence.
The Summa Health Pride Clinic provides high-quality, compassionate care for all patients, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Light refreshments will be served.
