Unity is Community - Philz Coffee

“Our Unbreakable Pride is an example of unity in practice. Unbreakable Pride is an SF LGBT Center initiative in partnership with LGBTQ+ centers across the U.S., responding to the surge in anti-LGBTQ+ hate and policies. Whether raising awareness, building shared programs, or providing critical resources, we stand united with our sister organizations in the fight against anti-trans and anti-queer legislation.”

The Billy DeFrank LGBTQ+ Center is building community and promoting the healing effects of social connection by hosting discussion and leadership groups as well as diverse activities and events for LGBTQ+s and Allies.

“Unity means we stick together in good times and difficult times. The Billy DeFrank Center is our third place where LGBTQ's and Allies get to be who they truly are.”

Advances equity for LGBTQ people through culturally responsive advocacy, education, and services.

“Unity to us means coming together across differences—gender, sexuality, religion, politics, or lived experience—to build a community rooted in care, equity, and collective well-being. It’s about love, support, and understanding within the LGBTQIA2S+ community, acknowledging our intersectionality and using our privilege to uplift one another and other marginalized groups. Unity is solidarity, trust, and shared purpose; it recognizes that we are not separate individuals but a connected community resisting division and working toward justice and freedom.” 

Advocates on behalf of the LGBTQIA+ community in Orange County and provide services that ensure its well-being and positive identity.

“Unity means a cohesive LGBTQIA+ community that embraces and is embraced by our allies.  Unity really means like-minded folx looking out for and lifting each other at every opportunity.” 

Rooted in LGBTQ+ liberation, Howard Brown Health provides affirming healthcare and mobilizes for social justice.

“Unity means understanding that equality starts from the bottom up. When we lift up the most disenfranchised, give with the least resources access to things like education and health, everyone benefits.”
