Pride Month 2025: Celebrating LGBTQ+ Identity and Advocacy

By Marketing Dept • June 4, 2025
Pride Month is observed every June to honor the LGBTQ+ community's history, struggles, and achievements.

Celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

By Marketing Dept • May 14, 2025
Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month is celebrated each May to honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of individuals and communities with roots in the vast regions of Asia and the Pacific Islands. This includes people from East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Pacific Islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. The month of May was chosen to commemorate two significant milestones: the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants to the United States on May 7, 1843, and the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869, a project made possible in large part by Chinese immigrant laborers. AAPI Heritage Month is a time to recognize the many ways in which AAPI individuals have shaped and strengthened the United States — from civil rights leadership and scientific innovation to artistic excellence and public service. It is also a moment to reflect on the challenges the community has faced, including exclusion, discrimination, and more recently, a rise in anti-Asian hate.  By celebrating AAPI Heritage Month, we uplift the diverse stories and voices within the AAPI community and affirm a shared commitment to equity, inclusion, and cultural appreciation.

Celebrating Jewish American Heritage Month

By Marketing Dept • May 14, 2025
Jewish American Heritage Month, observed each May, is a time to celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States. From the earliest days of American history to the present, Jewish Americans have played a vital role in shaping the nation’s social, political, cultural, and economic landscape. This month honors the perseverance, traditions, and values of the Jewish community, as well as its enduring commitment to justice, education, innovation, and civic engagement. It is also a time to reflect on the struggles Jewish Americans have faced, including antisemitism and discrimination, and to reaffirm the importance of combating hate in all its forms. Through educational programs, cultural events, and community celebrations, Jewish American Heritage Month promotes awareness and understanding, highlighting the diverse experiences and achievements of Jewish Americans. It serves as a reminder of the strength that comes from embracing diversity and the importance of remembering and honoring all who have helped shape our shared American story.
