We began as a small committee of folks who wanted to see Pride celebrated in the little town of La Center, Washington. As we put together what turned out to be a beautifully successful Pride Walk in June of 2021, we realized anew that the outlying areas of Clark County and Southwest Washington don’t have the resources of Pride and queer-focused organizations like the more urban and suburban areas do. Now we are striving to be a porchlight for rural folx who identify as part of this community, and couldn’t be more passionate about providing resources and safe spaces and connections.
