Athens-Clarke County will fly Progress Pride and Juneteenth flags at City Hall this June
Summary
The Commission adopted resolutions to display the Progress Pride Flag June 3–19 and the Juneteenth Flag June 19–July 4, 2026, and directed staff to support related events; resolutions cite local recognition of Pride Month and Juneteenth and ACCGov policy compliance.
The Commission adopted two resolutions June 2 directing that the Progress Pride Flag be flown at City Hall from June 3–19, 2026, and the Juneteenth Flag from June 19–July 4, 2026. The resolutions cite local history and prior actions recognizing Athens Pride Month and Juneteenth and instruct the Manager to support events and compliance with ACCGov Administrative Policy CSD-002.
The Pride resolution highlights local LGBTQ+ history and the county’s nondiscrimination ordinance; the Juneteenth resolution recounts national and local emancipation history and asks the Unified Government to explore supportive community events. The Commission’s action is procedural: the resolutions establish flag display dates and direct staff implementation.
