Pride 2021 is in the books, but the lessons that we learned from our Snoos this month remind us that Pride is about visibility, intersectionality, and, of course, celebration all year round. Throughout June, we highlighted historic moments of significance within the LGBTQ+ community with our employees during our weekly All-Hands meetings. This allowed us to learn more about the impact of lesser-known LGBTQIA+ figures and give them the recognition they deserve. And there would be no Pride month without revolutionaries like Marsha P. Johnson, gay liberation activist and prominent figure in the S ..read more

You might have seen these efforts in our “Up The Vote” campaign preceding the 2020 U.S. Election, through which we encouraged voters online and on the street to get out and ..read more
