SPLTH supports the LGBTQIA+ community!
Celebrating the LGBTQIA+ Community in 2021
Santa Paula Latino Town Hall is honored to observe and recognize our LGBTQIA+ community during the month of June. We highlight the 1969 Stonewall riot which took place in New Year City at the Stonewall Inn; this event brought to light police harassment and persecution to which LGBTQIA+ Americans were commonly subjected to. Stonewall marks the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against LGBT Americans. We must acknowledge the role discrimination and hate has had in decisions made throughout our country’s history in order to start a movement to eradicating hate from our future history.

Santa Paula Latino Town Hall Youth Engagement and Empowerment Initiative awarded $9500 in scholarships to Santa Paula youth in 2020. Scholarship monies are raised annually through special fundraisers like the silent auction hosted at the Annual Awards Dinner. Due to social distancing restrictions, this year’s virtual celebration did not allow for a silent auction. So we appealed directly to the public for donations and the community came through for our graduating seniors!
