🌈 Happy Pride Month!

Sapphic LA exists to serve the sapphic and queer community every single day, not just in June.

Consider supporting our work by sharing this newsletter with your friends, upgrading to a paid subscription, or showing up to our events!

Also, you can be sure that this curated list of queer events will never amplify corporations who pop in for this month and retreat into the shadows. We are here for the community organizers who consistently do the work to create spaces for you. We love you and there is truly no greater joy than to be queer. Celebrate yourself this month and always!

Much love,
Anita
Founder, Sapphic LA & Sapphic NYC

P.S. - The Women’s Freedom Festival is giving me the mic (LOL) at WeHo Pride this Saturday June 6 at 6pm, and I’d love to see you there! Who knows what bars will be dropped but I’ll have a speech ready for you, bestie!

In all seriousness, I am so grateful to the L-Project for this huge honor to be speaking and for the work that they do to uplift the sapphic community in Los Angeles.
