The RAIN Best Practices group would like to provide a Pride Month Toolkit for agencies to use when planning activities to show support for the LGBTQ+ community.
Participating in pride month is a small gesture to show LGBTQ+ employees in your agency and customers that you support them, and an even bigger step towards creating a more respectful and inclusive environment year-round.
