Our next Health Equity in Action event is coming up next week Thursday, September 28 from 5:30-7:30pm. As usual, it will dovetail with KCHD being with us to provide STI testing 4:30-6:30pm also (you can call to get an appt & walk-ins are also accepted.)

This month's event focuses on disability services, and our partners are @artsinmotionwm and @disabadvocates and representatives will be on hand to discuss their services and the support they offer. Dinner will be served, and Fern the Pug will be on hand for anyone needing some support/cuddles. Please join us, especially if you are looking for ways to meet more 2-SLGBTQ+ folks in the community and connect with others. We'd love to have you.

If you have any questions, please call us at (616) 458-3511 or email the Health Equity team at health@grpride.org.

Partner agencies will Arts in Motion (AIM) & Disability Advocates of Kent County (DAKC) to talk about the services they offer & how they can support you."

Please stay safe and take care of yourselves and each other!

Image Description: Text on a pink background says, "GRPC is closed until Monday due to staff illness. We apologize for the inconvenience. Groups are still meeting afterhours. QTPOC da Block is still happening on Saturday!" The text is framed by green vines & leaves on which there are yellow and blue flowers with small smiling faces.

The rainbow text is right; getting tested is necessary for your (and any potential partners') safety! It is also a profound act of self-care and community care!

In case you haven't yet, you can get your STI and HIV test for FREE, next Thursday here at the Pride Center!

Both walk-ins and appointment slots are available from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, but only appointments can be guaranteed.

To book your appointment, you can:

- Book directly online at https://bit.ly/grpc-sti-testing
- Call the Pride Center at (616) 458-3511
- Email the Health Equity Team at health@grpride.org
- Or, stop by in-person and tour our space while you're here!

[Image Description: The phrase "getting tested is necessary" repeats 13 times in a vertical stack, with each line of text in a different color. The colors form a rainbow, fading from light blue at the top to mid-blue, pink, purple, and red by the mid-image. Then, the colors progress from red to orange, yellow, light green, and mid-green before returning to blue again. The background is plain black.]

Join us tomorrow for the first Queer Literary Society book discussion, where we will be discussing "Gay L.A.: A History of Sexual Outlaws, Power Politics, & Lipstick Lesbians" by Lillian Faderman & Stuart Timmons. Don't worry if you haven't read the book or aren't familiar - copies of passages will be available. Tea and snacks will also be provided. 12 noon, Friday, July 28th in the Grand Rapids Pride Center's library (343 Atlas SE).

Image description: Text says "Book of the Month" above the cover of a book. The book cover has two men holding hands with the word "Gay" overlayed and then a woman in military uniform with the word "L.A." overlayed. Between these images & words is the subtitle "A History of Sexual Outlaws, Power Politics, & Lipstick Lesbians" and at the bottom of the cover are the author names Lillian Faderman and Stuart Timmons. Just behind the bottom left corner is a small white cloud & layered over the right side is a white cloud with text that says "Join us July 28th 12 pm". The book cover is laid over an orchid background with a blue-to-purple ombre frame on the left side & an orange-to-yellow-to-pink ombre frame on the right side.

Come join us next Thursday for a disability-justice centered event that's all about moving, protecting, and caring for our bodies!

[Image Description: Four text box ovals intersect to form a square in the center of the image, over a dreamy light pink and lavender gradient background. There are two small four-pointed stars at the bottom left of the image, and two additional four-pointed stars in the top left. The title at the top of the image reads: "Health Equity in Action Presents" and then "Mindful Bodies" in a soft script font. Oval #1 reads: "Midwest Movement Collective Demonstration: Dance for All Bodies". Oval #2 reads: "Corewell Health Discussion: Cancer Screening and Prevention." Oval #3 reads: "Free Dinner and Open Space." Lastly, Oval #4 reads: "Thursday, July 27. 5:30pm - 6:30pm at the Pride Center." All of the text is a mid-toned purple, as are all of the shapes throughout the image.]
