Grateful to join @cmkatestewart.bsky.social this morning at the Supreme Court to stand up for dignity and respect for our LGBTQ+ community in MoCo and across the country.
Started the day in front of the Supreme Court to show my support for inclusive schools as the case Mahmoud v. Taylor is heard. Our schools need to be places of joy, safety, & visibility for all. I greatly appreciate all of the community members who showed up this morning to make their voices heard.
