Beyond Rainbows and Flags: Celebrating Pride Month with Concrete Actions

Pride month is an opportunity to celebrate LGBTQIA+ people and the community’s history and culture, but the LGBTQIA+ community needs more than rainbow logos and flags. In this issue, we discuss the importance of having an expansive definition of “families” in policies such as the Chicago and Cook County sick time ordinance, welcome our 2021 cohort of The Pattis Family Foundation Summer Leadership program, and more!

Make your year-end gift to Women Employed, and help us make real and lasting change for women, families, and communities.
