Hi everyone!
Who said you can't celebrate Pride from home? Now more than ever we need to come together as a community and celebrate out rainbow of identities, as well as remember those who fought for so long for us to be where we are today!
Happy Pride, from me to you.
Tony Magaia, your Liberation Officer 2020/21
