By executive order today, I hereby declare June 19th Matt O’Grady Day at the Taproot Foundation. From this year forward, we will close our offices on June 19th every year to celebrate the wedding anniversary of our very own Vice President, National Expansion (Matt is officially tying the knot later this month in San Francisco), and more importantly to celebrate a major milestone in the civil rights movement in this country – the legalization of gay marriage in the largest state in the land.
You will see that Matt O’Grady Day is now listed on our site as an official Taproot Foundation holiday .
While progress is never fast enough, I am proud to be part of a society that is able to evolve to get closer and closer to achieving our ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all.
Connect with social good organizations fighting for LBGTQ+ safety and equality by joining our community of pro bono volunteers.
