"We have a nation divided right now, and we feel the only way to heal our nation is to come together in community," said acting county librarian Deb Sica.
Bay Area Community Health also offered on-site rapid HIV and Hep C testing.The Pride Fair was an opportunity for teens, including 15-year-old Swara Adithe to volunteer."I feel like a lot of these minority communities are still getting a lot of hate today, and it's a very common thing and I feel like that shouldn't happen. I feel like nobody should hate anyone based off of things about them that don't affect you," she said.
