As we build out our Tree Canopy Equity work, we’re committed to being more equitable, more intentional, and more affirming to our LGBTQIA+ neighbors. For the duration of National Pride Month in June 2022, we accepted submissions for TreeFolks’ very first Pride logo and graphic design for staff and supporters to showcase in our first float in the Austin Pride Parade. From now until Austin Pride in August 2022, we’ll be highlighting contest artists, LGBTQIA+ owned and allied sponsors, and LGBTQIA+ identifying staff and supporters who wish to share what the intersectionality of TreeFolks and Pride means to them in a meaningful storytelling campaign.
As we shine a light on the LGBTQIA+ members of our community who consistently show up and advocate for the values we share, we’re excited to work with businesses, organizations, and community members to keep us equitable and accountable as we continue expanding our equity work.
