SUMMARY:Button-Making Pizza Party
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the Pittsburgh Equality Center gives away thousands of pronoun pins/buttons at Pride festivals and community events to promote visibility\, respect\, and inclusion for our transgender\, nonbinary\, and gender-diverse neighbors. These buttons help people express their identities proudly and help others learn to honor them. \nWe’re hosting a fun and creative Button-Making Pizza Party to keep our supply strong! Volunteers will help assemble and package pronoun buttons in a variety of colors and styles using our button-making machines. While we work\, we’ll share pizza\, music\, and great conversation. This a chance to connect with fellow community members while making a real impact. \nWhether you’re crafty or just curious\, we’ll teach you everything you need to know. Your time and effort will help us spread love and affirmation across southwestern Pennsylvania throughout the year. \nRegister on our Point organization page here.
