Pride Month Program At Ossining Village Hall

From Ossining Village Hall

A program for Pride Month will take place June 4 at Ossining Village Hall. The event will include a brief history of the significance of the Stonewall Uprising which is commemorating its 50th anniversary this year, affirmation of Ossining as an inclusive community, and inspiring words from leaders in the LGBTQ community and elected officials.

In anticipation of the event, Mayor Victoria Gearity noted, "In a moment when the presidential administration is dismantling policies protecting the LGBTQ community, it is even more important that Ossining sends a clear message of unity and inclusion for all people."

Christina Picciano, founder of the Ossining LGBTQ Alliance commented, "With this historical pride flag raising in Ossining, we honor the members of the LGBTQ community who fought for our rights and provide hope and solidarity for all regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity."

All are welcome to attend at 4PM on Tuesday, June 4 in front of Village Hall. Remarks from members of the LGBTQ community and elected officials will be immediately followed by the raising of the flag.
