5.15) Resolution authorizing the execution of Project and Program Grant Agreements with Livermore Pride, Livermore Valley Opera (LVO) and Thomasin Dewhurst Fine Art consistent with the City's Public Art Policy.
Independence Day celebrations were supposedly cancelled due to a potential crowd of 12,000, yet this event states the crowd is expected to reach 30,000. That indicates the city needs to reevaluate it's priorities. How are you going to guarantee municipal codes will not be broken, including public decency and sexual exploitation of a minor during the planned entertainment? Overall, not an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars.
Please approve the grant for Pride! This event, along with Juneteenth, Lunar New Year and others, celebrates the wonderful patchwork of humans that makes Livermore the amazing community it is to live in.

Supporting Livermore Pride through this grant is crucial in promoting diversity, and community cohesion. This event not only celebrates and supports the LGBTQ+ community but also showcases our city as a welcoming and vibrant place for all residents and visitors. Approving this grant will enable us to continue this tradition, ensuring that our city remains an example of inclusivity and pride in the future.
Please approve these grants for these activities and events. Since it's inception, I have looked forward to attending the Livermore Pride festival because it is one of the few pride events accessible to me. Please continue to support such grants that enable community building events for our diverse regional residents.
I am writing today to urge the Livermore City Council to approve the arts grant to Livermore Pride. People come from all across the Tri-Valley for this amazing event to feel accepted, seen, and uplifted for who they are. That is what Livermore should support. I urge you to approve this grant, thank you.
I fully support the use of the art grant funds for the Livermore pride event! Pride events are essential for the LGBTQ+ community and their loved ones to remind them that they are seen, valued and protected here! Hosting events such as this serve as a powerful reminder to the community, year long, that this city is truly a safe and affirming place!
As a Livermore resident, I support inclusive programming such as Livermore Pride. I, my family, and friends love attending events that affirm and celebrate the diversity of our vibrant community. Please approve grant funds for this event. We are stronger together.
A very big YES to support the LGBTQ+ community in Livermore to receive the grant money for PRIDE events! Everyone deserves to be seen and heard…and to feel supported and protected! I stand in support! Thank you!!

Support pride events in Livermore by approving the grant. These kind of events are critical to the inclusiveness of the community. Rejecting the grant proposal only serves as regressive policy.
Pride events are so vital to our community; Pride gatherings are not just about individuals celebrating their own humanity, but about protesting for the civil rights of our neighbors, friends, and family whose sexual orientation or gender identity are under attack. I strongly encourage the Livermore City Council to support and allocate this grant money to help facilitate Pride events in Livermore. These events and community support of them allow LGBTQ+ indivuals to feel supported and protected by their community.
I'm writing in support of the arts grant for Livermore Pride. The events they put on are important for our LGBTQ+ youth and adults to be seen, accepted, and celebrated. We are happy to be a part of a diverse city like Livermore.

I'm writing to urge the City Council to approve the arts commission grant to Livermore Pride. This is the ONLY Pride event in the entire Tri-Valley area, and hundreds of people come to our city to celebrate in October. Events like this make our LGBTQ+ community feel seen, supported, and uplifted. As a Livermore resident, I strongly support the City approving grant funds for this event.
Please approve the grant to support Livermore Pride. This event and the organizations that support it are essential to the well-being of our LGBTQIA+ youth, family members, friends, and neighbors, so they know they are seen, supported, included and loved. These members of our community have a significantly higher risk of attempted suicide and self-harm when they do not feel that they belong. I know that there are queer teenagers and young adults in Livermore and nearby communities who often feel that Livermore is often not safe or accepting of them, and it is imperative that we work to change that perception and make Livermore a safe and welcoming community for all people.
This event is extremely important to our community. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive, accepting, welcoming city which embraces diversity. This event is important for the LGBT+ community in order to feel seen, safe, and celebrated. And it is also important for the rest of the community in order to understand our neighbors, to learn from them, and to show our LGBT+ citizens that they belong here. Any society will grow ill from pushing the marginalized into the shadows. A chance to shine light should not be thrown away. Let’s be the city we say are. Let’s be the best Livermore that we can be. I strongly support approving this grant.
