Happy Monday!
The time is coming for us to open our new LGBTQ+ Center. Please save the date for Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., and join us for our Open House. Given all the continued changes in the US due to the current administration, we are thrilled that we can begin to offer a safe space for the greater Santa Fe LGBTQ community.
PRIDE is just around the corner, and we need and want a successful and strong PRIDE. Santa Fe is your community whether you live in the city or county. Also, this is a critical election year for the city of Santa Fe, and we need to make sure that we wisely choose those who will lead our city. The mayor’s seat and several councilor seats are up for election. Councilor Sig Lindell has decided not to run again, which leaves her seat vacant in District One and will make one less queer voice in city politics. Councilor Carol Romero Wirth from District 2 has also decided not to run, and her seat will be open.
We will keep everyone posted with updates on who is running and what their platforms are. An involved Queer’ electorate is essential to keeping and putting those in office who best align with the values of our community and support all voices equally.
I’m looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, May 3, 2025, as HRA makes history and herstory with the opening of Santa Fe’s first LGBTQ+ Center.
In good health and PRIDE.
