Come celebrate San Francisco Pride Month with INFORUM! Join INFORUM and SF Pride for a celebration of San Francisco's LGBTQI history and a powerful discussion about the work still needing to be done to ensure equal rights and racial and economic justice (this year's SF Pride theme!) for all, focused on the Black Lives Matter movement. Advocates and spokespeople will discuss their experiences convening diverse allies and communities, and will share their unique insights into the successes they’ve achieved and the challenges they still face in ensuring justice for all.
