Dear MPI Greater New York Chapter Members,
As we welcome June, we step into a month of vibrant energy and meaningful connection. This season brings several exciting moments for our community—from celebrating Pride Month and Juneteenth, to gathering at MPI’s World Education Congress (WEC), to recognizing our dedicated volunteers and networking with purpose.
🌈 Celebrating Pride Month
June is Pride Month, and MPI Greater New York stands proudly in support of the LGBTQ+ community. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are at the heart of what makes our chapter strong. Let's continue to build a welcoming, inclusive space where all voices are heard and celebrated.
New York City offers a multitude of Pride events throughout the month, culminating in the iconic NYC Pride March on Sunday, June 29, starting at 12:00 PM from 25th Street and Fifth Avenue and proceeding to 16th Street and Seventh Avenue. This vibrant parade features over 700 floats and is a testament to the city's commitment to LGBTQ+ rights and visibility.
