This month commemorates the Stonewall Riots of June 1969, which are commonly acknowledged as the beginning of the U.S. gay rights movement.

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Today it commemorates African-American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement.

The Stonewall riots of 1969 were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations against a police raid of the Stonewall Inn, a gay club in Greenwich Village in New York, NY. They are frequently cited as the start of the gay rights movement in the United States.

In recognition of LGBT Pride Month, Mary Boughton, Senior Director, Western Region, highlights common barriers to advancement in the workplace and demonstrates ways in which Catalyst’s research and tools can be used by organizations and LGBT individuals at a panel entitled It Gets Better: Breaking Down Barriers to Advancement. This invitation-only event is hosted by Catalyst and Littler at the Fairmont San Francisco Hotel in California. Contact Audrey Gallien for more information.
