SELF-ACCEPTANCE, VISIBILITY, EQUALITY, LOVE. Happy Pride Month
The following blog was co-written by Theo, a youth that participates in JusticeWorks Independent Living Services. Pride can mean different things to many different people but for the people within the LGBTQIA+ community, it means self-acceptance, visibility, equality, and love. THE HISTORY OF PRIDE MONTH: Every June, we celebrate Pride Month in honor of the 1969 Stonewall riots and the ongoing strides that the world is taking to achieve equal justice and opportunities for the LGBTQIA+ community.

I do not know Jared that well, but his actions yesterday say a lot about his...
JusticeWorks Lehigh office celebrates the diversity of the staff and community
JusticeWorks Lehigh brand discovers new ways to celebrate the diversity of the staff and community within the office. The initial idea bloomed from our Program Director, Kristen Irizarry, when she encouraged the office to keep the Christmas tree up all year and decorate it differently every month.
