Happy Pride Month, Fam! 🖤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍🩷💛❤
Here at The Diatribe, celebrating Pride has always meant more than celebrating for the month of June. 💯💯To us Pride means actively building rooms where EVERYONE feels safe enough to share their truth.

With all of the blatant attacks on the rights and lives of LGBTQIA2S+ Americans, we want to make one thing crystal clear: The Diatribe HAS always and WILL always be a safe space for our LGBTQIA2S+ friends, family and neighbors to gather and show up exactly as they need to.

Let's continue to uplift one another and SPEAK UP for each other.

May is AANHPI Heritage Month! 💛

The origin of AANHPI Heritage Month dates back to 1978 when Congress passed a joint resolution and was originally only celebrated through the first week of May. It was later expanded into a full month in 1992.

May was intentionally chosen to commemorate two pivotal milestones in American history:

May 7, 1843: The arrival of the first documented Japanese immigrants to the United States.

May 10, 1869: The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, which was achieved largely through the grueling labor of Chinese immigrants.

This month, we honor that history and celebrate the diverse cultures that have already, and will continue, to shape our world!

Sunday night was pure 🔥🔥🔥! Thank you to everyone who packed the room for our Disruptive Dialogue Final Showcase.

In a world where young voices are often drowned out or intentionally disregarded, we choose to amplify them. Because here, we know EVERY voice has value. To this 💯PHENOMENAL💯 group of young people: we are so incredibly proud of you. You didn't just speak, you SHOOK the room.

💛If you believe in the power of youth-led dialogue, please consider making a donation to support our work at the link in our comments. 💛
