As a homegrown Riversider, I am beyond proud to highlight the opening of the Inland Empire LGBTQ+ Center. Riverside's amazing new community hub can be found downtown on the corner of Brockton and University Avenues. It is an absolutely beautiful center that is focused on health and well-being, uplifting and building the LGBTQ+ community today and for future generations to come.

After receiving bipartisan support in the Legislature, the bill was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom September 8th.
