LGBTQIA+ HISTORY IN MIDTOWN SACRAMENTO PRESENTE

The Sacramento LGBT Community Center moved into its forever home at 1015 20th Street in the heart of the Lavender Heights district.

PRIDE-themed banners were installed along 20th Street between J and K Streets. The banners celebrate #MidtownLove, acceptance, and inclusion in the heart of Lavender Heights.

New resources for LGBTQ people continue to emerge in the Lavender Heights district, most recently with the opening of the Lavender Courtyard in July 2022 to provide compassionate and affordable housing to LGBTQ seniors.

WEAVE, in partnership with the Midtown Association, presents "PRIDE, Pronouns & Progress: Gender Inclusion Training," a free educational workshop for businesses to learn the importance of gender identities, pronouns, and gender rights in the workplace and beyond.

With lighting installed by Michael Sestak of Sestak Lighting Design, California State Parks debuted a special rainbow lighting activation on the exterior walls of Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park for Sacramento Pride Weekend (June 9, 10 & 11).

New eye-catching and whimsical “Love is in our roots” rainbow vegetable art wraps were installed on utility boxes on 21st Street.
