Lawrence Town Hall Glows In Rainbow Colors All Month In Honor Of Pride

LAWRENCE, NJ — Town Hall is glowing in rainbow colors this month as Lawrence Township marks June as Pride Month with a light display that will run through June 30.

The township illuminated the building beginning the evening of June 13, with the display intended as a visible symbol of support for LGBTQ+ residents, families and neighbors.

"I've always believed that local government works best when every resident feels seen, valued, and welcome," said Councilwoman Amanda Santos. "Lighting Town Hall this Pride Month is our way of saying to our LGBTQ+ neighbors: we're glad you're here, and this community is yours too."

Councilwoman Bonne Giglio added that Pride Month is "an opportunity to celebrate the diversity that strengthens our community and to reaffirm our commitment to equality and inclusion for all residents."

The display coincides with a Pride Month resolution expected to come before the Township Council at its June 18 meeting.

Residents are encouraged to visit Town Hall throughout the month to view the display.
