ESTABLISHED IN 2019

Who are we? We are a diverse group of individuals who: ​​

  • want to continue the work toward full inclusion in our neighborhoods, ourselves, and our communities overall.
  • plan to remain engaged in this community, spreading knowledge and positivity at local events especially those that promote cultural ​and spiritual diversity and inclusion in our community
