Pride Month: Orgs We Love to Support
Diversity is one of the most important elements of a high-value wine collection and we believe the same holds true for the people in our lives. This month we’re raising a toast in celebration of Pride Month and in support of inclusivity everywhere.
To share the love, we reached out to Wine Sisterhood team members across the country to find out the LGBTQ+ organizations they love to support. Below are the groups our team wanted to share and celebrate.
Do you have an LGBTQ+ organization you want to give a shout out to? Post their information in a comment or share on social media and tag @winesisterhood to get our attention.
SF LGBT Center
Even in San Francisco, the bright purple SF LGBT Center stands out at 1800 Market Street. It serves as a central location for the LGBT community of San Francisco, where individuals who need resources, support, or a safe space to gather can find comfort and celebration. Their mission is to connect San Francisco’s diverse community to opportunities, resources and each other to achieve their vision of a stronger, healthier, and more equitable world for LGBTQ people and allies. They host over 200 programs and welcome more than 9,000 individuals each month, in addition to providing affordable office space.
Equality California
Equality California fights for full, lived LGBTQ+ equality in a number of ways: passing pro-equality legislation, electing pro-equality leaders, fighting for civil rights in the courtroom, reducing disparities in LGBTQ+ health and well-being, developing a pipeline of LGBTQ+ leaders and increasing civic participation within the LGBTQ+ community. This organization brings the voices of LGBTQ+ people and allies to institutions of power in California and across the US, striving to create a world that is healthy, just, and fully equal for all LGBTQ+ people. We advance civil rights and social justice by inspiring, advocating, and mobilizing through an inclusive movement that works tirelessly on behalf of those we serve.
