Pride flag at City Hall

A 55-year San Pablo resident thanked the councilmembers behind the request and said flying the flag for all of June shows the city is inclusive to residents, workers, and visitors alike.

The chair of Richmond Rainbow Pride urged a full-month display and an annual tradition, citing rising anti-LGBT legislation and the importance of young people seeing supportive local government.

A longtime community member supported the request, noted the flag previously flew only one day, and shared that a local elementary school teacher is holding a pride spirit week.
