Densmore said he is still speaking with community members and police officers to determine the best course of action moving forward.” As communicated to you this past week, PFLAG Johns Creek will continue to stay attuned to this issue and keep our community updated. PFLAG Johns Creek advocates for an end to discrimination, injustice, and violence for LGBTQ+ individuals. But now, more than ever, we realize we must also unite with people of color to bring about our Mission of support, education, and advocacy to and for them as well. Now, more than ever, we show our pride and love for YOU! ?️‍?❤️???????️‍?
