The resolution recognizes June Crenshaw for her significant contributions as an 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 leadership at the Wanda Alston Foundation. Her work is deeply rooted in personal experience and community engagement, inspiring many across generations.

The resolution is presented in the context of the 34th annual DC Black Pride celebration, which aims to highlight the diversity of the Black LGBTQIA+ community and address health disparities, education, and family support. DC Black Pride, the first of its kind globally, has inspired over 50 similar events worldwide and continues to draw significant participation, with thousands attending from various countries. The theme for this year's celebration is "BLACK PRIDE IS FREEDOM," emphasizing the importance of community, awareness, and advocacy against violence and discrimination. The resolution takes effect immediately, formally honoring Crenshaw during this important event.
