OC Pride at LB Pride! 

OC Pride

Quick Links...
       So we have a lot going on lately.  Last week, the OC Pride Float in the Long Beach Pride Parade and this week, Harvey Milk Day Celebration in honor of his birthday.  
This month to date we've done outreach at Soka University's International Festival; promoted and attended as guest speakers at Laguna Playhouse's Youth reading of '8' The Play; decorated the OC Pride Float and danced in and around it in last weekend's Long Beach Pride Parade; and petitioned the OC Board of Supervisors to recognize Harvey Milk Day in the county.  Our Third HMD is next on the agenda and looks like it will be a great success.     
       All of us at OCEC are very passionate about the causes and events we pursue, so take the time to come and see what we do.

Please remember we are your community, and we're fighting for you.  
Harvey Milk Day Celebration this Saturday

Saturday, May 26, promises to be a day of fun, festivities, and education as we remember Harvey Milk's legacy and enjoy live performances, DJs, speakers, and more.   
 


OCEC Board Members Archer Alstaetter and Minerva Figueroa along with our partners at De Colores QOC and Gay Neighbors, Family, and Friends of Santa Ana asked the OC Supervisors to honor Harvey Milk's birthday this afternoon.  They declined and member Janet Nguyen walked out.  Read the article in the LA Times.
