Celebrating Pride Month

As we enter June, WAPA proudly joins the nation in observing Pride Month. This is a time to honor the profound impact of the LGBTQIA+ community on our society and to acknowledge the ongoing pursuit of equality and inclusion.

Pride Month has its roots in the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, a pivotal moment in the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights. This historic event was not just a reaction to police brutality but a stand against decades of systemic discrimination. It serves as a reminder of the enduring courage to challenge injustice and strive for full equality.

At WAPA, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone is respected and valued. We believe in learning from history to guide our actions today, ensuring the rights and contributions of all community members are recognized and celebrated.

We are also proud to highlight the role of our Pride Employee Resource Group in promoting an inclusive workplace culture. This group has been instrumental in creating a supportive environment for all employees.

This Pride Month, let us recommit to creating a supportive and welcoming environment. By recognizing and embracing the unique challenges and contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community, we reinforce our collective mission to build a workplace and a world that champions dignity and equality for everyone.
