Celebrating Pride Month every June has taken on more meaning to me as I have helped lead our Rainbow Employee Resource Group (ERG) the last few years. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be able to help uplift the LGBTQIA+ community within Mapbox and am excited to share how we celebrated this year.
Celebrate and Recognize
We want to continue to build on the work we have done in previous years by focusing on building community. To do that, we set our sights on bringing allies and community members together to celebrate. Here are some of the events that went on across Mapbox throughout Pride Month 2024.
San Francisco Pride Meetup
Mapboxers in the San Francisco Bay Area met at Spark Social to enjoy the summer weather, food trucks, and a fun time celebrating together.
Seattle
Mapboxers in Seattle began their day working together at a WeWork space and ended the day at Rhein Haus to enjoy the summer weather and celebrate Pride.
DC
Mapboxers in the DC area celebrated Pride at Swingers by playing rounds of mini golf together.
Helsinki
Mapboxers in the Helsinki office celebrated Pride after work with Friday the Professor, a local Drag Queen, who hosted a fun and informative trivia quiz on LGBTQIA+ history.
Rainbow ERG Shirts
We asked the Rainbow ERG to submit designs for an ERG shirt that we will be giving away to ERG members later this year. We wanted our community to show us their creativity while helping us show our pride (pun intended) and identity impactful community within Mapbox.
Continuing the conversation
One month a year is hardly enough to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community. It is important that while we do spend the month of June highlighting the important issues facing the community and celebrating its history and achievements, we don’t stop uplifting our community on July 1. It is paramount that we keep the conversation going throughout the year as LGBTQIA+ rights and communities are still threatened around the world by current and proposed laws.
We want to thank everyone who helped us celebrate Pride Month this year. We are all in this together!
