The city of Coralville has agendas saved on their website all the way back to 2011 that show a Pride proclamation at the first June meeting of the year.

This year — the very same year that we had to fight for a Trans Day of Visibility proclamation that the mayor declined to provide until she heard mighty feedback from constituents — the first June meeting agenda was posted with no mention of Pride.

When constituents reached out to council and the mayor about the missing item on the agenda, we were given a number of different hoops to jump through and even having jumped through them, we have been given no guarantee of the Pride proclamation at the first meeting in June (Tuesday, June 9 at 6:30 pm).

We’re a lot more interested in what our community has to say about Pride anyway so we invite you to join us at the next council meeting on Tuesday, June 9 at 6:30 pm so that we can be in community to celebrate and uplift Pride.
