Corazoncitos
STUDENT ORGANIZATION AT BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!
The fight for equality for the LGBTQ+ community continues, but not without celebrating the beautiful abundance of colors and true love that resides at the very heart of the community. A special thank you and celebration of the BIPOC members of the community. All lives don't matter until black lives and more specifically, black trans lives matter. Thank you so much for your strength and bravery, and we harbor nothing but fervent admiration and appreciation for everything you stand for.
Love is love, treat people with kindness!
We are wishing everyone a happy and safe pride!
ON BLACK LIVES MATTER
Corazoncitos stands in solidarity with those who are participating in the ongoing fight for racial justice and against police brutality. We stand as complete supporters of the black community as people of color and are as committed to their fight as they have historically been to ours. We ask that everyone join in and do their part by spreading awareness, educating yourselves and others, signing petitions, donating if you have the means, and supporting those risking their lives in protest.
Cuando los latinos no negros permanecen en silencio en los momentos de violencia per-petrados contra las comunidades negras, los latinos no negros se convierten en guerreros de la supremacía blanca y la anti-negritud global.
who we are
