🏳️🌈💖🏳️⚧️ #GrantPartner #stridewithpride #PrideInTheD🌟We Stride with Pride🎇
Stride for Pride is more than a walk – it’s a mission helmed by the Ruth Ellis Center to provide safety, support, and opportunity to LGBTQ+ youth facing housing insecurity, rejection, and discrimination. Because our vision is a world where LGBTQ+ young people are safe and supported no matter where they go.
And one step at a time, we’re bringing this vision to life. This is where you come in. Together, we can ensure LGBTQ+ youth in our community never lose access to the support and care they deserve. Whether you’re walking, jogging, running, or biking, every step forward brings us closer to realizing our vision.
When we Stride for Pride, we stride together. Join the members of the Joe Louis Greenway Partnership and the Ruth Ellis Center for a day of community resources and a beautiful walk down the Greenway.

Pathfinder is a year-round initiative that upskills low-income, single parents in Detroit through a cohort-based model of intensive coaching, peer mentoring and direct assistance toward increasing their access to 1) a post-secondary credential via a 2- or 4-year college degree or a career and technical education program, 2) transformative employment that nets a family-supporting wage or 3) launch of a community-based, small business or scale of an existing side hustle. Through Pathfinder, low-income single parents will access research-proven pathways that can facilitate an escape from poverty toward achieving economic self-sufficiency.

The Black Leaders Detroit Ride For Equity has reached Columbus, OH!
On the eve of Juneteenth, this year's Ride For Equity is halfway complete. Our grant partner's 1645-mile journey this summer started from historical Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma and will conclude on Wall Street in New York City.
Ride For Equity is "an initiative dedicated to promoting fair funding for entrepreneurs of African descent through impactful cycling events... and aims to raise awareness about economic disparities while fostering community support for underrepresented business leaders and their journey toward reparations."

Ruth Ellis Center has created a community of welcome, joy and refuge for LGBTQ+ youth in the Detroit area, supporting their social, emotional, medical and behavioral needs; offering hot meals, a food pantry, skill building workshops, job placement and benefits support; and providing LGBTQ+ affirmative, community-based housing and permanent supportive housing.
#GrantPartner #Pride #PrideInTheD #weareruthelliscenter👂 Listen to Our Ancestors🏳️🌈
This Pride we encourage you to take the advice of those who came before us and fought for our liberation. We support the claim that we should celebrate what makes us different.

McGregor Fund Founders
More than 100 years ago, the McGregors devoted their lives to community service – Tracy as an agency founder and social entrepreneur ending homelessness and unemployment for Detroit men, and Katherine as the founder and benefactor of an orphanage in Highland Park. Their proximity to people experiencing hardship and trauma informed their charitable giving and Tracy’s role as a civic leader.
