The purpose of Memory Sunday is to highlight the impact of memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease in the African American community. At these events, faith-based organizations incorporate education about the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and other dementia into religious services and related programs. This includes discussion about ways to reduce the risk of developing dementia, raising awareness about the importance of research and sharing the support available for care partners.

Commemorate the brave LGBTQ+ people who risked their safety to advocate for the lives and humanity of LGBTQ+ people, to celebrate the richness and complexity of LGBTQ+ community, and to continue to advocate for equity and inclusion for LGBTQ+ people, especially those who face intersecting forms of oppression.
