Pride on:

Taking Pride to the Streets: A Rainbow Crosswalk Provides Teaching Moments, Front Line Conversations.

Chicago joined the Rainbow Crosswalk crowd just this year, along with surprises in both directions, Provincetown, MA at one end and at the other, Lexington, Kentucky and Salt Lake City, Utah, and it has become quite a thing over the last 6 years with new sidewalks painted cities and towns across the continent. And the benefits of claiming a public space have been unexpected, at times scary, but have provided teaching moments for public bodies and between private citizens that never could have been anticipated.

To all of you who take time to propose, advocate for, write about, feature, explain to kids, explain to parents, explain to neighbors, approve, budget for, paint, defend, announce, explain and maintain Rainbow crosswalks in big cities and little towns across North America over the last 6 years, Thank You For Your Service. It’s Work with Unexpected Impact
