Traditionally June is Pride Month in many countries across the globe. June was chosen to commemorate the momentous Stonewall riots in New York City’s Greenwich Village in June 1969. Over the years, Pride has taken on a life of its own. This year, we’re celebrating and honoring the LGBTQ+ community’s fight for acceptance and equality. To help you show support for this month, Catalyst is sharing our most effective tips on inclusion and allyship through webinars, infographics, and more.
