California town proposes ban on Pride, Black and women’s history celebrations

Image
In a shocking move, Huntington Beach, California, is considering a ban on celebrating Pride, Black History Month, and Women's History Month. This discriminatory proposal would silence important voices and erase vital parts of our history. We cannot let this stand! These celebrations are not just about parades and parties. They're about recognizing the struggles and triumphs of marginalized communities and building a more inclusive future for everyone. Silencing these voices would be a major setback for progress and equality. Contact your local representatives: Let them know you oppose the ban and urge them to vote against it. Find contact information for your representatives here: https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov #StopTheBan #CelebrateDiversity #EqualityForAll
