🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈 In 1978, San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker unveiled the first-ever Pride flag at San Francisco Pride — a vibrant symbol of love, liberation, and unity. The original flag flew with 8 bold colors: 💖 Pink – Sex ❤️ Red – Life 🧡 Orange – Healing 💛 Yellow – Sunlight 💚 Green – Nature 💙 Blue – Serenity 💜 Indigo – Harmony 💜 Violet – Spirit A year later, it evolved into the 6-color flag we know today — not by choice, but because certain fabric colors were unavailable. Even so, the message remained loud and clear: PRIDE. Here’s to the beauty of progress, resilience, and every color in the spectrum. 🏳️‍🌈 #PrideMonth #LGBTQHistory #GilbertBaker (fb)

Many Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (DV/SA) agencies across Michigan rely on federal and state funding to serve survivors in their communities in navigating the aftermath of extraordinary trauma. However, federal and state funding has not kept up with increasing demand for supports, pushing providers beyond their staff and financial limits. This leaves many survivors without assistance. $75 million of funding is critical for victim service organizations like ours to continue providing life changing services. Call your legislator today!
