DYK: The first Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing state agency was created right here in Michigan in 1937? As we celebrate 60 years of MDCR, we must highlight this division within our agency, prioritizing communication access for DDBHH individuals. ow.ly/wEBx50Ws2cY

Anti-LGBTQ legislation is on the rise nationally but gender identity and expression, sex and sexual orientation are protected classes in Michigan. Use #InternationalNonBinaryPeoplesDay to raise awareness of the issues this community faces including an increased risk of violence.

This year marks 61 years of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibited discrimination in public places, employment, and provided for the integration of schools and other public places. Many of the freedoms we cherish today are a result of the protections provided by this bill.

Today marks 10 years since the landmark Supreme Court ruling that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. We celebrate today to acknowledge that marriage is about love and not gender. Honor this day by advocating for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a day signifying the true end of slavery in the United States on June 19, 1865. It's a time to reflect on the struggles and triumphs of the Black community, celebrate freedom, and commit to ongoing efforts toward equality and justice. #Juneteenth

There is no space for hate in Michigan. ✊ We encourage everyone to unite and celebrate #InternationalDayOfCounteringHateSpeech. Hate fuels discrimination and incites violence. It's vital that we all take a stand to create a world rooted in empathy and understanding.
