Our community was forever impacted after 49 angels were taken and dozens of others were injured in a mass shooting during Latin Night at Pulse, a safe and inclusive LGBTQIA+ nightclub, located just south of downtown Orlando. At the time, it was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
Since that tragic day, we have focused on supporting the victims and their families, as well as healing and uniting our community with love and compassion.
