Not the result we wanted, but another goal scored by Forward Madison adds to the amount we are raising for @gsafewi.bsky.social as part of our Prideraiser campaign.

Our first goal of the Prideraiser Campaign! Keep those pledges coming in. Each goal we score during the campaign raises funds to support @gsafewi.bsky.social.

An image of our Prideraiser scoreboard as of June 15, which shows that Forward Madison has scored one goal and raised $360 on 19 pledges to support GSAFE.

Image of a note that reads as follows:

Back in February, The Flock’s Board of Directors were approached by Proud Owls, a Union Omaha supporters group, about co-signing an inclusivity statement. You can see that statement at @proudowlsoma and/or here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJfVC23vVvx/.

In our pursuit of a more inclusive and action-oriented statement, we inquired about adding concrete action steps as well as representation for disabled people and disability rights, both of which were denied. We declined to sign, and in hindsight (and with the feedback of the fanbase in Madison and beyond) realized this was not only a missed opportunity to stand behind the members of our LGBTQIA+ community, but the absence of our signature was a misrepresentation of our values. This was a mistake, and one for which we are truly sorry.

This has been a clear reminder to not let perfect get in the way of the good, especially during a period when so many people’s rights are at stake. It's important to cosign any effort that aims to preserve the rights, freedoms, and liberties of all people, even if the circumstances or language of the effort aren't perfect. The Flock fully appreciates the efforts of Proud Owls and the other signatories of this statement to make USL League One and soccer more inclusive for all people, which has been and will continue to be a core value and point of focus for The Flock.

Not signing and representing crucial members of our fanbase was a mistake, we're sorry, and humbly ask forgiveness.

Rain has been an incredibly destructive force on our drum equipment over the past few seasons and we needed help.

Our donors stepped up and we raised $635 and spent $370 towards new mallets and drumheads.

A big thank you to all our donors! Your support to our ISA helps keep the Flock End rocking.
