The city finally approved our rainbow crosswalk for the Tower District after ten long years of fighting. Seeing our colors painted across Wishon and Olive is going to be a dream come true for everyone who refused to stay silent. We won this together and I will be looking for …

The City of Fresno has allocated funding for the painting crosswalks, one is located at the heart of the Tower District ( Wishon & Olive). The City is currently requesting art submissions through the Fresno Art Council with input from the Community at large.
The LGBTQ+ Community has been pitching a rainbow crosswalk at this location for over a decade and has received hard push back from local officials and city members. We currently have allies on the Fresno City Council that need to hear from us in the support of the LGBTQ+ friendly crosswalk.
Given the recent push back and inequitable treatment of our local LGBTQ+ Non-profits, it is time that the City of Fresno acknowledged an important part of the Fresno Community --- the LGBTQ+ population.
Our Tower District, Home to two of the largest LGBTQ+ Festivals in June and September, local LGBTQ+ Bars and Business owners, deserves a Rainbow of hope and perseverance.
SUPPORT THE RAINBOW!!! LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY IMPACT!!!

Seeing this level of support for a project that faced so much silence for over a decade brings me to tears. This movement proves that the Tower District is ready to finally claim the visibility we have earned.

Seeing these names stack up brings me back to the years of rejection our community faced just trying to be visible in our own neighborhood. We are approaching five hundred signatures and that momentum is exactly what proves the Tower District is ready for this change. Please reach out to your neighbors right now to get us over this hump before we bring this to the council.

Seeing the numbers climb reminds me of how long we have waited to see our neighborhood reflect the pride we feel at the Tower District. Let us push this total past one hundred to show the city that our visibility is not up for debate.

Fresno needs this. Representation matters in the Tower. Looking forward to seeing it finished!
WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL FIGHTING THIS? It is just paint on the road. Let people be happy.
The Tower District is literally the best place for this. It fits the vibe perfectly and shows we are actually moving forward as a city.
About time! The Tower has been waiting way too long for this. DO IT.
Been living here 20 years and there is no better spot for it than right there at Wishon and Olive.
