This initiative aims to generate tourism revenue and enhance cultural connections while protecting the land from industrial logging. The fund seeks to invest in community and tribal-owned forests, promoting forest preservation, outdoor recreation, and eco-tourism.

Trump Administration to Resume Flying Pride Flag at Stonewall Monument

Trump Administration to Resume Flying Pride Flag at Stonewall Monument

The Trump administration has agreed to resume flying the rainbow Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City. This decision reverses a previous action taken in February to remove the flag, which had sparked a lawsuit from LGBTQ+ and historic preservation groups. The agreement, which still requires judicial approval, stipulates that the Pride flag will be displayed alongside the U.S. and Park Service flags. The Stonewall National Monument, established in 2016, commemorates the site of the 1969 Stonewall riots, a pivotal event in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. The flag's removal had been seen as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to alter or remove materials deemed divisive or partisan.
