In 2016, President Obama designated Christopher Park in New York City as Stonewall National Monument. As our nation’s first and only National Park Service (NPS) site honoring LGBT civil rights and history, the monument is not only for locals in New York, but for all of America’s LGBT communities.

Now NPS needs our help to determine how to best tell Stonewall’s intersectional story, and is requesting public input on how to provide inclusive interpretation of Stonewall National Monument for visitors.

The evening will include a short presentation on what’s happening at Stonewall. Afterward, community leaders will facilitate small group discussions on the importance of Stonewall National Monument, and the best way for NPS to accurately capture the history of the monument and the movement it represents. We will deliver the results of the evening to NPS for their consideration.

Tea and treats will be provided!

Hosted in collaboration with Tacoma’s Rainbow Center and Seattle’s Pride Foundation.
