June is Pride Month

On June 27, 1969 the New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar. In response the patrons of the bar fought back and what is now known as the Stonewall Rebellion, sparked a fire to push the civil right movement for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people forward.

This year the Parade is Sunday, June 29th, starting at 11:00 am from the corner of Union St. and 4th Ave. it will be limited to approximately 2 ½ hours in length this year and should take about an hour to go from the start to the end. www.seattlepride.org

Urge Support of Benefits for Filipino Veterans

On April 24th, the US Senate passed S.1315, the Veterans' Benefits Enhancement Act by a bi-partisan vote of 96-1. The passing of this bill holds historic significance because S.1315 contains provisions to correct the over 60 year injustice to Filipino WWII Veterans by restoring their US Veteran status. It will not reduce benefits for other veterans.

Currently, the House of Representatives is close to bringing Filipino WWII veterans legislation to the floor for a vote (as part of the Veterans Benefits Enhancement Act). See how you can support this effort.
