June 2023 PAR Newsletter: Happy Pride & Juneteenth!!
Hello leaders and supporters!
Happy Pride month!
We are so thrilled to continue and create spaces for those from ALL walks of life to share their lived experience in meaningful ways. This is especially vital in recent years. Please be sure to join organizations like the ACLU and the Fairness Campaign at the Pride Rally on June 17th!
June started off with a lot of great networking opportunities for PAR. We were able to meet folks from around the country at the FAVOR Recovery Leadership Summit in Washington, DC. Our team was in Pittsburg, PA hanging out with the Community Liver Alliance to further learn and support Harm Reduction in the commonwealth. Finally, we are in the midst of becoming a certified Fair Chance Employer by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. (Sheeeew! That was a lot!) June is only half way finished, and we have much more on the horizon!
As we start into the second half of the year, we are looking for your input and support. We are sharing a survey that will help us to learn from YOU! We want to know what challenges you are facing. Whether as an individual in recovery, allies, or an organization! We want to know what we can do to advocate for YOU in January of 2024! That means, we NEED your voice. At the end of this newsletter is a link to our Legislative Priorities Questionnaire. Please take 15-30 minutes and fill this out to the best of your ability. This is how we ensure that Recovery has a voice in Frankfort, and its YOUR voice!
In solidarity,
-Tara Hyde
