The Stonewall Organization

The Stonewall Organization, formally known as the Stonewall Inn and the Stonewall Uprising, is a nonprofit dedicated to LGBTQ+ advocacy and civil rights. It emerged from the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, a pivotal moment when LGBTQ+ people protested police harassment and fought for their rights. The organization works to promote equality, educate the public, and support LGBTQ+ communities. It also commemorates the anniversary of the riots each year during Pride Month, helping to strengthen awareness, acceptance, and legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals.
