Happy Pride Month from all of us at Freestar! As we wrap up another vibrant and inspiring #PrideMonth, we reflect on the importance of diversity and inclusion in our community. Our tagline may be "Publisher First," but we're always "Pride Forever." Every year, our Diversity and Inclusion Committee carefully selects organizations that make a significant impact, and this year, we are proud to support the ACLU, The Trevor Project, and the Transgender Legal Defense And Education Fund. We encourage everyone to learn more about these incredible organizations and their vital work in advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. Together, we can continue championing equality and celebrating the beautiful diversity that makes our world stronger. #pride2024🌈 #diversityandinclusion #diversity #LGBTQA #allyship #diversity #inclusion #pride #publisherfirst #prideforever #companyculture #loveislove
