TRANSCRIPT:

"I rise today in recognition of pride month and to honor Radiant Health Centers, an Irvine based nonprofit that's been serving Orange County's LGBTQ+ community, underserved residents, and people living with or affected by HIV for nearly four decades.

Founded in 1985 as AIDS Services Foundation Orange County, Radiant began as a volunteer-led response to the HIV AIDS crisis, providing dignity and support at a time when too many people were being denied the care they deserved.

Today, Radiant is the largest and most comprehensive nonprofit HIV service provider in Orange County, touching thousands of lives.

Radiant began as an act of courage. The founding volunteers stood up for the most vulnerable and devastating stigmatization which saved lives.

This pride month, I hope their courage will inspire us all. Amid rising hate and discrimination, let us recommit ourselves to defending dignity and equality for all. I'm proud to recognize Radiant Health Centers for their life saving work and their deep commitment to the people of Orange County.

I yield back."
