Our Stories – Every June, we turn our attention and love to the LGBTQ+ community at IKAR. For many years we have taken the opportunity during PRIDE month to stories from LGBTQ+ folks and their family members. Listen to our stories on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Resources + Organizations – As we celebrate Pride month and give thanks for the rights and opportunities the queer community has fought for and received, we also recognize the continued threats to the safety and well-being of LGBTQ+ people in our country, especially trans/non-binary/gender expansive people. We encourage you to learn, advocate and donate to ensure that all people in our country are treated with the dignity they deserve.
