Dear Readers,
Drupal’s strength rests on more than code quality or feature sets. The project’s true resilience comes from the choices it makes about who belongs. As Pride Month closes, the maxim “what you permit, you promote” takes on new urgency. By embedding inclusion into every pull request review, event guideline and policy decision, Drupal lays the groundwork for a community where diverse voices shape its future.
Concrete steps turn that principle into reality. Fei Lauren recalls that “seeing people like me and feeling seen felt so transformative,” a shift driven by initiatives such as hidden-disability sunflower lanyards, family-friendly meet-ups and dedicated channels for neurodivergent contributors. These grassroots practices have sparked regional working groups in Latin America and Africa and transformed the Drupal Diversity and Inclusion Slack space into a hub of shared resources and real-time support.
Sustaining momentum beyond a single month requires ongoing action. Community members can audit site accessibility, propose new support channels and volunteer to host meet-ups that center diverse needs. As Fei urges, “find your people,” because every inclusive choice today becomes the culture Drupal promotes tomorrow.
