This year's Pride celebration was absolutely amazing, we hope that you enjoyed the festivities as much as we did! Here are some photos of our Pride Family Garden at Dolores Park during Trans March and the Fog City Community Fitness Pride Event.

We were also featured in a KRON 4 news story about the Trans March.

Thank you to our community members who were able to participate and celebrate Pride with OFC. And a special thank you to our partners for supporting this work so that we can continue to provide our services to our families at no cost to them.

Summer Break

Now that San Francisco Pride month is over, we will be taking time for a much deserved summer break. This means that we will NOT be holding our regular monthly support groups. We will be using this time to slow down, plan for the rest of the year and allow staff to take some much needed breaks. We will return in August with a full month of offerings and events. Thank you again for being part of our community and see you in August.

Calling all seasoned and emerging LGBTQ+ family leaders!

Our Family Coalition may have the opportunity to implement a community leadership cohort from September 2024 to June 2025. We are gauging interest to determine in the next month if the project is a go. Please email info@ourfamily.org if you are interested by July 20.

Since 2004, On The Verge has mobilized hundreds of community leaders to co-create solutions to pressing social, health, and economic inequities by developing cohorts of leaders who create new programs, improve services, and influence policies and systems. OTV cohorts build a culture of mutual reliance and support that encourages vulnerability, feedback, and risk-taking, all of which lead to profound personal, interpersonal, and professional growth. Through monthly meetings, an overnight retreat, and one-on-one coaching, “Vergers” develop relationships, leadership skills, and wellness practices, and engage in a group project that advances community solutions by and for LGBTQ+ families.

We are looking for 10-12 seasoned and emerging community leaders over the age of 18 who live in Alameda County. If you care about racial, gender, and economic justice and well-being for the full and expanding spectrum of LGBTQ+ families, you are our community! This includes LGBTQ+ families with and without dependent children, LGBTQ+ foster parents, adult children in LGBTQ+ families, and more.
Cohort members work 10-12 hours per month and are paid $30/hour.
Expressing interest does not secure a spot. An application process will take place in August.

Please email info@ourfamily.org if you are interested by July 20.

Excellent News Regarding the

Taxpayer Deception Act!!

The California Supreme Court has released an opinion ordering the Secretary of State to refrain from putting the Taxpayer Deception Act on the November ballot. The measure would have risked a dangerous and unconstitutional revision of our state constitution. This decision avoids risking our historic Paid Family Leave and State Disability Insurance programs, as well as a host of other catastrophic impacts.

We appreciate the Governor and Legislature’s leadership in challenging this attack on voters. We are ready to confront any future similar attempts by corporate interests to rewrite the rules for their benefit, while harming vital programs that working families rely on like Paid Family Leave and Disability Insurance.

The California Work & Family Coalition is a statewide alliance of community organizations, unions, non-profits, and individuals dedicated to helping parents, caregivers, and families thrive. We are united in the belief that all people should have the time and resources to care for themselves and each other.
