Title: "What's UP?" with Nicole Frydman, Director of Operations at the UP Center
Description:
This presentation will go over the basics of what Uniting Pride of Champaign County is, the work we do, and why it matters. Founded in 2009, UP works to advocate for the equality, wellness, and visibility of the LGBTQ+ community in Champaign County.
Our Mission: Uniting Pride exists to create a Champaign County where all who identify as sexual and/or gender minorities can live full, healthy, and vibrant lives.
September is Pride month in Champaign-Urbana, so it's a great time to talk about advocacy and opportunity to support our local Pride initiatives.
