Pride Month Observed In San Leandro

SAN LEANDRO, CA — San Leandro City Hall is lit up for Pride Month.

Mayor Pauline Russo Cutter announced this week that the City of San Leandro will observe Pride month in several ways.

"It is important to welcome and celebrate inclusivity in San Leandro, especially recognizing the diversity of people that make up our community," said Mayor Cutter. "When I was first elected 20 years ago, it was to proactively address LGBTQ issues in our schools. Now, more than a decade later, it's amazing to witness the progress we have made, and it makes me proud to see so many people coming together to celebrate as a kind, caring community."

The lighting system at City Hall is already displaying rainbow-colored lighting. In addition, a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new rainbow-themed crosswalk located in downtown San Leandro will be held on Wednesday, June 19, at 5 p.m., at the corner of Parrott Street and Washington Avenue.
