The resolution recognizes June Crenshaw for her significant contributions as a longtime advocate for the LGBTQIA2S+ community and her leadership in nonprofit organizations, particularly in youth services and community organizing in Washington, D.C. Currently serving as the Deputy Director of the Capital Pride Alliance and co-chair of the organizing committee for DC WorldPride 2025, Crenshaw has a history of expanding support services for LGBTQIA2S+ youth experiencing homelessness through her previous role at the Wanda Alston Foundation. Her leadership is informed by her personal experiences and deep community engagement, making her a source of inspiration across generations.

The resolution is presented in the context of the 34th annual DC Black Pride celebration, which aims to raise awareness and showcase the diversity of the Black LGBTQIA+ community while addressing health disparities and supporting education and family initiatives.

The theme for this year's celebration is "BLACK PRIDE IS FREEDOM," emphasizing the importance of community, awareness, and advocacy against homophobia and violence.
