🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Weekly update from the Rainbow Union! Curious what we've been up to? Take a look!
Happy Friday Rochester Rainbow friends and family! Time for our Friday update! First, I hope you’re taking care of yourself and practicing self-care. Remember its ok to take a stop and breathe. First, a couple of exiting fundraisers! • All this month, Jack’s Extra Fancy is supporting us with their Aviation cocktail! $2.00 from every cocktail benefits the Rainbow Union’s work! • Tuesday, March 18th, The Local Sound Collaborative is hosting their “Be Kind Tuesday” series with live music from Noah Martella and members of Ivy’s Home! Between 6-8 pm, one dollar from every beer sold will support us. We’ll also have some cool raffles going on! • Sunday March 30th, we’ll have an all day, funday fundraiser at Jack’s extra Fancy. Stay tuned for more info! I’m excited to say that our community council meeting this week was great. We had over 50 people present talking about showing up powerfully for Pride, honoring its history in protest, safety that is conscious of all Queer folx, and more. This program has been extraordinarily successful and powerful, giving all the LGBTQ+ groups here a chance to work together, share resources/information, collaborate, and coordinate. Those in power want us separate and disorganized, these meetings will show that we are unified in power! This past Sunday the Spotted Rabbit Art Studio interns helped dozens of community members make artist trading cards as part of our monthly Queer Art Club! We’re happy that this monthly event on the first Sunday has grown so popular! Rochester, keep being awesome! Yours in Pride, Andrew Moran President AndrewM@gayalliance.org The words "Support the Rainbow Union at Jack's Extra Fancy" with pictures of a menu, cocktail, and 2 smiling board members. Be Kind Tuesday, March 18th, 6-8 pm @Three Heads Brewing. Live Music from Noah Martell of Ivy's Home. Sponsored by Rocnet and Three Heads Brewing (186 Atlantic Ave). $1 from every beer sold supports the Rochester Rainbow Union. Raffle!

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Jeffries: They've done nothing as it relates to lowering the high cost of living. At the same they are raiding the government and attempting to steal taxpayer money.That's what the situation at the treasury department is all about

Friday update from the Rainbow Union, reflecting on Queer hope, joy, and resilience.
Rochester, Hope. Joy. Resilience. These concepts will fuel our resistance to oppression, giving us the energy to fight for justice each day. This week I’ve seen enough examples to make my heart swell. Yesterday, close to 75 people attended our 5th LGBTQ+ Quarterly Convening, representing countless diverse groups! We discussed issues affecting the people we represent such as housing, legal support, safety, passports, documentation, and collaborations. We were especially lucky to have Chanel Lopez, Deputy Director of LGBTQ+ Affairs for the governor and Jacki Consol from the Monroe County Clerk’s office there. Seeing so many people gathering in unity for shared purpose gives me such hope! Another point of joy: record breaking numbers of volunteers registering to help at our Lilac Library! On Wednesday, we had our largest registration number to date, and have been adding even more sign-ups to accommodate them! This influx of new volunteers will finally allow us to start adding additional library hours! Lastly, I also want echo Brittan’s words from @Next Generation Men of Transition from our community council meeting. As we gather in these spaces of hope, joy, and resilience, let’s not forget those who can’t be present, such as our incarcerated siblings and those who don’t feel safe. We must continue fighting for them and not leave anyone behind as we move towards justice. Thank you to each of you working for justice for our LGBTQ+ and other historically marginalized communities. Keep up the work; I see you. Recharge with the energy that is Queer joy and hope. Yours in Pride, Andrew Moran President AndrewM@Gayalliance.org P.S. We’ve updated our events page on our website! Keep updated on what’s going on with the Rainbow Union! https://rochesterrainbowunion.com/events The words "The largest sign up of volunteers for a library shift yet and a group photo of volunteers!
