The Pulse nightclub shooting remains one of the deadliest acts of violence against LGBTQ+ people in U.S. history, devastating a community space that meant so much to queer and Latino communities. In this video, we reflect on what happened, the lives impacted, and the broader context of hate, safety, and visibility.
From grief to resilience, remembrance to action, honoring Pulse highlights the importance of protecting LGBTQ+ spaces and continuing the fight for safety, equality, and community.
