Welcome to the November edition of Pride Center News! This month, please check out ways we can be present for and support our T+ family for Transgender Day of Remembrance. As we all head into the winter, take some time to check in on yourself and your loved ones within the community. Found family can often provide a strong form of support during stressful times. Please know that within this community, you are loved and valued. 

In the wake of the recent election news, we recognize that the results imply devastating consequences for the trans members of our community and the LBGTQIA+ community at large. The future we are facing is uncertain, and we feel the weight of that stress with you. It is understandable to feel overwhelmed, but in times like these, it is more important than ever to seek out community. We are stronger when we work together.

 

The Pride Center of New Jersey will continue to offer safe, welcoming spaces open to those seeking support and community. We are proud to be a resource for LGBTQIA+ individuals by offering a variety of peer-based support, social, and youth programs. We also welcome anyone interested in supporting the community to inquire about volunteer opportunities, which include:

 

Event support

Social media posting

Group facilitation

Fundraising

Desk hosting

And more!

 

Remember, our community is what we make it! If there is something you would like to see at the center, we welcome you to reach out to discuss how you would like to be involved. Donations are also always welcome to help support PCNJ’s mission and programming. Thank you all for being a part of our community, we stand in this together.
