Today is the International Day of Pink. 💗

Standing up against bullying, discrimination, homophobia, and transphobia isn’t just about one day, it’s about how we show up for each other, in our schools, workplaces, and across our city.

These are the moments that make our community so special. Already looking forward to the next one ☘️
