Beyond LGBTQ+ History Month

Activism doesn’t end after 16 days: it’s an ongoing commitment to fostering a safer, more inclusive world. Beyond this campaign, you can continue to make a difference by staying informed, speaking out against harmful behaviours, and supporting those around you. Being an ally means actively listening, educating yourself and others, and advocating for change in both big and small ways.

Whether it’s joining local initiatives, attending workshops, or simply engaging in conversations about these issues, every action counts. Together, we can build a community where everyone feels valued, respected, and safe.
