We need your voice.

One Small Act Miami County is inviting residents of Miami County—both LGBTQ+ community members and allies—to participate in a powerful video project that will premiere during our Pride Day event on July 25.

Over the past several weeks, we’ve heard people claim that we are somehow “bringing” the LGBTQ+ community to Troy. The truth is much simpler:

We’ve always been here.

We are your neighbors, coworkers, friends, family members, classmates, and community members. We belong here, and our goal is to respond to hate with something stronger—love, visibility, and community.

We’re asking participants to record a short video clip simply saying:

“I belong.”

If you’re comfortable, you can also share your name and how you identify. That’s entirely up to you.

Whether you’re LGBTQ+, an ally, or someone who believes everyone deserves to be welcomed and respected, we want you to be part of this project.

Recording Sessions will be held at One Small Act Miami County in the Stouder Center: 1100 S Wayne St; Suite 1212; Troy, OH 45373.

We’ll have a backdrop, microphones, and everything ready to go. The process takes less than five minutes.

If you currently live in Miami County—or even if you once called Miami County home—we want your voice included.

The more people who participate, the bigger the impact.

Let’s show our community what belonging looks like.

❤️ We belong.

🏳️‍🌈 We’ve always been here.

🤝 And everyone deserves a place in our community.
