SUMMARY:Bolingbrook Pride Month Proclamation
DESCRIPTION:Bolingbrook doesn’t just talk about supporting their LGBTQ+ residents. They’ve put it in writing. Their policy manual and social services regulations now explicitly protect gender identity\, sexual orientation\, and reproductive health decisions. That’s real. That’s rare.

Briarcliff) by 7:15 pm so we can sit together as a community. The meeting begins at 7:30\, and the proclamation is early on the agenda. \nWear your brightest Pride colors. Bring your friends\, your family\, your neighbors. Let’s pack that room\, make some noise (respectfully!)\, and make it clear that this community is watching\, grateful\, and showing up.
