What Does Pride Mean to You?

A Wider Bridge

Queer Compass with Eve Barlow and Ben Freeman: Navigating Jewish, Israel, & LGBTQ Pride

June 17 at 8:00 PM EST

Pride is such an exciting time where so many of us feel joyful in our celebrations of who we are. However, with the sharp rise in antisemitism and the ongoing expression of antizionism in Pride events, pride can also be a time of isolation. Join Ben Freeman and Eve Barlow to discuss how we can navigate this pride season.

What’s on your sign? | Join our Virtual Rally

This June, A Wider Bridge is hosting an online rally that will allow members of our community to showcase who they are and how they live out the values that shape their lives. We will launch a new website that will contain hundreds of photos captioned with the phrase “Proud & (word of your choice)”.

This virtual rally will show that just because we cannot celebrate in person, it doesn’t mean we cannot celebrate together. And this is why we are reaching out to you: You are part of our family. A member of our community and I would love you to be part of our celebration. What do we need from you? Only two things: your photo and the word of your choice.
