ACTION ALERT: Pride org needs support
SALISBURY, N.C. — Salisbury Pride is on the lookout for individuals who would be willing to email Mayor Paul B. Woodson, Jr., asking him to issue a proclamation for its upcoming celebration on June 20.
The organization has not gotten mayoral support in three years, the last time with previous Mayor Susan W. Klutz in 2011. Woodson refuses to provide a proclamation, but has provided them for over 28 other groups since January 2014, organizers said.
Take action online at salisburypride.com/urge-mayor-woodson-to-issue-proclamation.html. Tell Woodson that bullying and discrimination are not okay and that the City of Salisbury should embrace “Equality for All!”
