Napa & Santa Rosa LGBTQ Community Gatherings in response to Orlando shooting
As many of you know, there was a mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, targeting a Latino night at Pulse gay night club. In painful times, it is good for us to come together to heal and take action. LGBTQ Connection will be hosting two community gatherings (one in Napa, CA on Tuesday and one in Santa Rosa on Friday as part of our regularly held youth space) in response to this horrific violence. Please join us.
We also have gathered some of our favorite helpful healing resources, further information and fundraisers related to the shooting. See below.
