Happy Holidays from the Pride Network! We wish you comfort and joy, and we look forward to ringing in 2021 with you all!

New Year, More Pride! Our network is rooted in the spirit of inclusion that embodies the vast, intersectional experiences of our community. With this is mind, we have updated our network name, logo, mission, and hashtag to more fully represent our wonderfully diverse community.

Today, I repealed the discriminatory ban on transgender people serving in the military. It’s simple: America is safer when everyone qualified to serve can do so openly and with pride.

February is Black History Month.  A time to honor the historical contributions of Black people in our country and beyond. Today – and everyday – we raise the voices of Black queer activists who helped to shape the world we live in: James Baldwin, Audre Lorde and many many more.

Remember how exciting it was last month when we released the new Starbucks Pride Network logo? Well, we wanted you to be able to relive that excitement, so we are sending out a NEWER version! In all seriousness, we have made some minor, but important, changes. Please update!

“L.G.B.T.Q. Americans — and particularly transgender and nonbinary people — are not simply living in a state of emergency, we are living in many states of imminent danger.” -Alphonso David in the @NYTimes nytimes.com/2021/06/07/opi…
