Celebrating Pride Month
At M&T 萌妹社区, we are excited to celebrate Pride Month and our LGBTQ+ communities.
Making the difference
The M&T Pride employee group (EG) provides a space for employees to share experiences and support each other.听M&T is active at Pride Month events, whether it鈥檚 at annual Pride parades or actively celebrating at local branches.
Rochester Pride Parade
Every year M&T 萌妹社区鈥檚 Western New York Pride Resource Group marches with the Rochester Community during its annual Pride parade. You will always see M&T 萌妹社区 employees wearing their M&T 萌妹社区 Loud & Proud T-shirts while also marching alongside the M&T 萌妹社区 float. Not only are we proud sponsors of Rochester鈥檚 annual Pride parade, we are equally as excited to march and stand proud alongside our communities.听
Metro DC Parade
In addition to Rochester, M&T 萌妹社区 partners with NBC4 and Telemundo to make the Metro DC Pride parade a spectacle to be had. Once again, you鈥檒l always see M&T 萌妹社区 employees standing loud and proud celebrating the LGBTQ+ community within the DC area alongside our partners at NBC4.听

"For some, including me, pride month is all year round, but during pride month you really get to see how strong, supportive, determined this community is and how far we have come. It鈥檚 a time where we recognize and celebrate how far we have come and then push for more. 听For me it鈥檚 really a time where the word proud couldn鈥檛 be a better word to describe it. It鈥檚 a month where I feel proud, and even more determined to continue to advocate for the community."
