Members June Newsletter 2022

June is Pride Month!

SAU would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our LGBTQIAE+ members a very Happy Pride!

Last month, Rosa Moxham (who serves on the Exec Committee) represented SAU at the Scottish Trade Union Congress LGBTQ+ Workers Conference. It was very exciting because this is the first year that SAU has sent a delegate to this conference!

Also, for the first time, SAU will be taking part in Pride Glasgow on the 25th June. If you would like to join SAU in the Pride Glasgow march, please email the SAU office  [email protected]

There are Pride events that will be taking place across Scotland over the next few months, more info here.

If you are unable to attend a Pride event in person, here is a link to the Fresh Meat Festival, an online international Trans and Queer arts festival based in San Francisco, June 16th - 26th 2022.
