June 2024 Programs

Pride Month begins TOMORROW! This special month is a time to honor our history, recognize our achievements, and embrace the diverse identities that make our community so extraordinary.

However, while Pride Month is a fantastic opportunity to shine a spotlight on LGBTQ+ issues and culture, true allyship is an active commitment that extends beyond these 30 days. We believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment every single day of the year.

Join us in our mission to create a world where everyone is celebrated for who they are, not just during Pride Month, but all year round. 

One of the best ways to show your ongoing support is by participating in and attending our events and programs. Keep reading this newsletter to see what’s coming up or reach out to us at [email protected].

Prism Teens is celebrating Pride! Join us for a Powerpoint battle, queer trivia, a rainbow movie night, and a special D&D-themed late night. No gathering this Saturday, June 1—we’ll see you at Color Fairhope With Pride! 

Prism Teens is available to LGBTQ+ youth and allies ages 14-18. For more information, email us at [email protected].

We are proud to support the formation of Coloring the Eastern Shore (CES), a nonprofit emerging out of Prism United that works to increase visible support for the LGBTQ+ community and create safe spaces along the Eastern Shore, Baldwin County, and the Gulf Coast. The Prism team could not be more confident in the incredible talent and capacity of the CES board as they work to organize the next Color Fairhope With Pride festival, coming to Fairhope on June 1st.

Be sure to follow CES’s Facebook page at:
