UCSF Pride Pin Pledge

In 2023, hundreds of anti-LGBTQ+ bills have advanced state legislatures that seek to attack the civil rights of queer people, especially transgender youth.

Within this socio-political landscape, many queer folks continue to face discrimination, particularly in healthcare & educational settings.

We must remain vigilant & take action. We stand with LGBTQ+ communities. We provide an open & inclusive environment for our UCSF community.

Take the ‘Pride Pin Pledge’ to show support, take action & increase visibility.
