This newsletter extra is a quick update on some important items.

 


REMINDER for the
NO KINGS RALLY
this Saturday!
Our local part of the nationwide events.

Event organizers want to stress that this is to be a joyful expression of community. There will be speakers, food, music and games.

Peaceful protesting is a guaranteed expression of our rights.


NOTE THE NEW DATE! JUNE 30

Copies are available to borrow or purchase at Serendipity Books.

 


 

Have you seen these banners around town?
We need your support!

Thank you to Equality Chelsea and the City of Chelsea for marking our community as one who welcomes all. Both the banners and the progress flag will wave in the month of June.

Unfortunately, City Councilmembers have been receiving negative comments regarding these banners. (Note: The banners were privately funded and followed the City’s non-profit banner permit process.)

As OWOF, we are ready to stand with our LGBTQ+ family and friends! PLEASE call or write to the City to express your support. It’s an easy lift but it will go a long way!
