June is Pride month! Join the Leavenworth Family Pride at their 4th Annual Pride picnic to celebrate and support our LGBTQ+ community! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙

🌧️‼️PICNIC UPDATE- LOCATION CHANGE‼️🌧️

Don't worry, our 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈4th Annual Pride Picnic🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ is still on!

SAME DATE- 6/14
SAME TIME- 1-3:30
NEW LOCATION- Leavenworth Local Hotel

Due to concerns that the weather may force us to cancel or reschedule our event, we chose to move our Picnic indoors. Thankfully, the Local was available and willing to work with us on short notice!

While this means we won't have the breeze, the shade, the splash pad, or the playground, it also means we won't have to worry about downpours, soggy picnic blankets, wind gusts, or having to give up and reschedule for an unknown date.

Keep an eye out for another update tomorrow with more details for the new location regarding parking, layout, and what to expect. We would have loved to stay with our original plan at Hawthorn Park, but we decided this was the best way to proceed for minimal disruption to our guests and vendors.

Please share this post to spread the word and ensure everyone knows the new plan. Can't wait to see you there!

🍰 Baking for a Cause: Sweet Treats, Meaningful Impact!

Supporting our work can be as simple (and delicious) as purchasing a homemade dessert. We are officially launching Baking for a Cause, a community fundraiser featuring incredible, traditional, fresh-to-order, baked goods!

A portion of all proceeds directly benefits the Carceral Accountability Council (CAC) to fund critical initiatives assisting detainees and families impacted by detention at the MRRC ICE Detention Center.

Leavenworth’s very own Carceral Accountability Council is receiving an award on June 2 from Kansas Interfaith Action one of our amazing partners in advocacy! Join us on June 2nd at the Johnson County Community College to support KIFA in the work that they do and be a part of honoring the work that the CAC has done to protect the rights and dignity of our immigrant neighbors.

Join us at our Annual Event on June 2 as we celebrate our 2026 Faith Into Action Award Recipient - the Carceral Accountability Council of Leavenworth!

KIFA's Faith Into Action Award is a way to recognize people and organizations who have been consistently engaged in a particular area of KIFA’s work. The Carceral Accountability Council (CAC) formed in 2025 as a response to the news that Core Civic was planning to open an ICE detention center in Leavenworth. CAC has collaborated with various organizations, including KIFA, to host vigils, protests, rallies, and now is turning their energy and resources to advocating for public prisons that prioritize safety, human dignity, and total visibility. Together, KIFA and CAC proclaim that !

Get your tickets today so you can celebrate CAC's work too! bit.ly/KIFAdinner2026
