This June, we’re uplifting trans icons of color whose contributions to LGBTQ+ liberation have shaped the
past, present, and future of Pride.

This Pride Month, we encourage folks to:

📖 Learn about the origins of Pride and the contributions of q***r and trans folks of color
to LGBTQ+ culture, history, and movements.

🫂 Spend time in community with q***r and trans people and uplift their voices, and of
course

🎉 Celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride!

This past Sunday, Mozaic hosted our “Together We Win” field day for trans youth and allies at Tuttle Park. ⚽️ 🏀 🏈
 
The event was part of a national series of events facilitated by ,  , and to raise awareness for two Supreme Court cases that will determine trans youth’s right to participate in school sports (Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. BPJ).
 
Instead of focusing on improving our living conditions, lowering inflation, and funding our schools, politicians are bullying transgender kids. We believe every kid should be free to learn, thrive, and play regardless of race, gender, or background.
 
That’s why we showed up to Tuttle Park to fight for the “T” in team! Nearly 30 folks joined us for the event, proving the power of solidarity and trans joy! 🏳️‍⚧️🥰
 
When political leaders attack one part of our community, they attack us all. But through our collective power, we are stronger TOGETHER. 📖 Read more on the Supreme Court cases at the link in our bio!

Mozaic’s monthly drop-in hours are back this Thursday, May 21 from 3-7pm in the Equitas Health King Lincoln community space!
 
Stop by to access resources, make a medical appointment, shop for clothes, or just to hang with your friendly Mozaic staff members! 😊
 
Come on by and bring a friend! 🫂

Join us for a day of play as we celebrate and support trans youth and athletes! While the Supreme Court debates their right to participate in school sports, we’re coming together to show that every young person deserves the chance to play, belong, and thrive.
 
This event is part of a nationwide effort to create spaces of joy, resistance, and community in support of trans and q***r young people. Whether you’re joining to play, support, or learn, you are part of this movement. Together, we win.

But, the Supreme Court is currently debating whether or not transgender girls have the right to play school sports. Sports have always been more than a game. They teach us that when we work together and work hard, we win. 🌈

That's why Mozaic -- with support from and -- is hosting a field day (all ages/genders welcome) centering trans joy!
