Our guest speakers this month will be organizers from the Tri-Pride event coming in September, Chris Dagenhart and Rob Batot. Their FB page can be found here https://www.facebook.com/
They will talk to us about the event, how we can support, and issues affecting our LGBTQ+ 🏳️🌈 community here in the Tri-Cities.
More about TriPrideTN
TriPrideTN is a newly formed 501(c)(3) whose objective is to build a stronger and more inclusive community across northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia. TriPrideTN welcomes and celebrates the LGBTQ community with their allies, with supportive nonprofit organizations, and with local businesses.
TriPrideTN is planning an annual event where everyone in the Tri-Cities can feel comfortable and welcome as part of our community. Our first event will be a free festival and parade scheduled for September 15, 2018, and will be held in Johnson City’s Founders Park. Communities across northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia have been invited to participate with the planning and fundraising for this celebration.
TriPride’s focus is to help create a better community that everyone can be proud to call home.
Join us for community, coffee, education, and friendship.
