From the Freelancers Union. Passing along

This month, in honor of Pride, we're honoring liberation in all of its forms. Liberation from all things that shackle us, be it gender norms or that oppressive corporate job that wanted to dictate not just when and how you work, but who you are.   Join us on June 24 at The Yard in the Lower East Side for Liberation and Libations, a happy hour celebrating our freedom, everything that makes this community unique, and of course, the start of summer. Allies welcome!
