What a blast! We were happy and determined to stand up for the LGBTQ community, who have faced so many unwarranted attacks, increasing in recent times. This was a day of celebrating the self-expression of people and saying: we will not back down in fighting for human decency.

We have submitted addresses of over 60 locations, and have over 40 more cataloged soon to submit, for the Queens Borough President Donovan Richards' borough-wide tree-planting initiative. Queens Ethical president Thomas Raffaele attended the event seen here where the borough president, him, and various additional workers and community members symbolically planted one of the multitudes of trees planned in the initiative to help our climate.

See here the Queens borough president's site where you can submit available tree pits on the sidewalk you find!

Our president Thomas Raffaele continues to spearhead donation collections, and people keep on giving great goods for the women and children to use. We need to give the deeply-downtrodden women and the children growing up homeless a chance!!

Many bags and other items (including stroller seen, and packages below bottom of picture) of necessities for women and children in the King's Inn homeless shelter delivered. No women or children deliver to be lacking clothes, toiletries and other basic needs.

We enjoyed back in March participating once more in the St. Pat's for All Parade. We need to fight the increasing attacks against the LGBTQ community!
