It's August 9th, which means it's also #InternationalDayOfTheWorldsIndigenousPeoples! This year's focus is on Indigenous Peoples that are in voluntary isolation and initial contact. According to the UN, there are around 200 groups worldwide that are under this umbrella. These groups face unique challenges to their way of life in the face of economic development and deforestation, but where their rights are protected, so is their land, culture, and language.

Happy #InternationalDragDay! Drag performers are a huge part of queer culture around the world and have been part of our history for decades - even centuries. Drag has been singled out in US legislation as a threat to those who may witness it, but we know that #DragIsNotACrime - it is a celebration, an art form, and a culture.

2024 marks 55 years since the Stonewall Riots - the protest that we talk about when we say the first Pride was a Protest. Pride is owed to drag queens and kings, cross-dressers, transvestites, transsexuals, and queers. The language may have changed, but the mission hasn't - Queer Liberation in every walk of life.

Happy #Juneteenth! On June 19th, we celebrate the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation that ensured freedom to enslaved Black Americans across the country. Two and a half years after the signing, emancipation was won and the civil war was ended. Now, 155 years later, we can celebrate this victory, but we must also continue the important and necessary work in anti-racism and liberation.
