Pride Flag To Be Raised By City Of Beacon In Ceremony Monday June 1; Short Speeches Given Prior To Council Meeting

The City of Beacon first raised its Pride flag in 2022. At that time, Mayor Kyriacou made a point to mention that he purchased the flag himself. This year, the City of Beacon will raise the flag again with a short ceremony at 6:30pm before the City Council Meeting, during which Mayor Kyriacou will read an annual City of Beacon proclamation of June as Pride Month.

kk Naimool (kay-kay, all pronouns) will also deliver a short speech. kk is a Founding Partner at Collective Justice, and is the former Human Rights Commissioner for the City of Beacon’s Human Rights Commission before the commission was dissolved by the City of Beacon.

Read speeches given by KK and Donna Minkowitz at that time.
