As we prepare for Pride month, we want to be sure that all members of our community have the info, skills and confidence to navigate the wide array of events, parties and gatherings in the safest ways possible.

The ECC is proud to partner with Speak About It, Prvention. Action. Change., EqualityMaine, Pride Portland, Disability Rights Maine and Frannie Peabody Center to host Community Pride Night on Tuesday, May 20. There will be a series of conversations and workshops that attendees can choose from, including::

• navigating your first Pride

• sexual health and centering consent

• Pride and sobriety

• making a personal safety plan

• accessibility planning

• de-escalation and being an active bystander

• knowing your rights with police and ICE

This will also be a great night to meet other folks in the community and maybe make a new friend to attend events with if you need a Pride buddy!

Please RSVP in advance HERE!
