2019 PrideFest
Thank you to everyone who joined us this year for PrideFest on June 15th! This year, the Spin-to-Win was back by popular demand. Thankfully, it was the least likely game to get blown away by the wind. Thank you to all our board members and volunteers who literally held down the fort.
Drag Bingo
Forget everything you think you know about BINGO. In honor of Pride month, the ACLU of RI is participating in Drag BINGO - a wildly popular (and outlandish) monthly event organized by AIDS Care Ocean State. Join us! $20 at the door to play.
