PFLAG Presentation
June 15 | 6pm-7pm | Zoom
Presenters & Partners:
Phil Schroeder, Member of the East Central Minnesota PFLAG Chapter
Ruadhan Ward, Chapter Engagement Coordinator, PFLAG National.


Join us to listen and learn from Ruadhan and Phil. Hear about the history of PFLAG, current PFLAG efforts, personal stories, the creation of the East Central Minnesota Chapter, and what it takes to start a new PFLAG Chapter. 

PFLAG is the United States' first and largest organization uniting parents, families, and allies with people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+). PFLAG National is the national organization, which provides support to the PFLAG network of local chapters.PFLAG has over 400 chapters across the United States, with more than 200,000 members and supporters.

This year PFLAG celebrates 50 years of leading with love for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. The power of PFLAG—from a letter to a march to a meeting to a movement - comes from the unified front of LGBTQ+ people, parents, families, and non-family allies.

East Central Minnesota PFLAG is an all-volunteer organization that offers monthly support/informational meetings, educational programs, community events, and general support for LGBTQ+ persons by being a visible presence in communities across the five-county region of Kanabec, Pine, Isanti, Mille Lacs, and Chisago.

Whether born here, a transplant, a Band Member, or a visitor, let’s celebrate together and make our home safe for all."
