A Discord server I'm part of is doing some neat stuff to celebrate Plural Acceptance Week and Plural Pride Day (https://pluralevents.org/Events/PluralPride), and I thought I'd share! I haven't been there for very long, so the usual caveats apply, but so far they've seemed like a bunch of neat people.
I've pasted their event information below the cut (pardon any formatting issues - I had to do some manual conversion from Discord markdown to BBcode). They've got art raffles, virtual meetups, and panels.
This is the server's description on Disboard: disboard.org/server/879214675559063593
And here's their invite link: discord.gg/ACS2cjQ3pn

Please Join Us in Celebration
...as AWOO is Excited to Feature our PAW -- All Week Long!
Good one, eh? I like that one.
This week is the 3rd Saturday in July, which means it's Plural Acceptance Week (PAW)!
This is one of our bigger events all-year in the #calendar!
To us, the spirit of PAW extends support and community to many presentations, in a wide-reaching celebration of multiplicity.
Who is welcome for PAW?
Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate in PAW's events schedule! However, the demographics we would most like to feature are the many manifestations of multiplicity, from I to We to Wei: ...disordered, medicalized, non-disordered, origins N/A, nonsystem plurality, Soulbonding, Daemianism, Tulpamancy, and every architecture they arrange in.

... Saturday, July 15th -- 3:00 CST.
@\Thornbush Sys utilizes metaphor and allegory to communicate the experience of living beyond one singular consciousness: ...how its known to form, what it could be like to form, and what it's like living as multiple; contextualized by the history of the term "system," and contrasting the diagnostic materials between DSM-4, DSM-5, and the now-retired diagnosis of MPD. Philosophy regarding origins and metacommentary on community conduct is covered to punctuate a lecture on Thörnbrush System's life as multiple.
Reccomended for those unfamilar with Plurality, and/or non-disordered plurality.
An Intermission.
- An aside: What is Sysmedicalism? Why is it dangerous?
... Saturday, July 15th -- approx. 4:00pm CST.
As a system that experienced traumagensis (formation from trauma) and lives with a disordered presentation, pursuing a diagnosis, @\Thornbush Sys explains system-medicalist perspectives from the bottom up, and contextualizes their positions. "Anti-endo" positions are covered to detail, a) why medicalists "do not believe" in non-disordered presentations, b) are often against self-diagnosis, c) why medicalists believe non-disordered presentations are intruders into the community, __and__ d) why medicalism is believed a necessary path in uplifting plurals.
While this sounds good on paper, Thörnbrush System explains why these ideas fall in on themselves.
Intermission.
- Ask a System -- Q&A panel
... Saturday, July 15th -- approx. 5:15pm CST.
@\Thornbush Sys opens themselves up to rapid-fire questioning as a system who has been there, done that, and identifies with a number of origins. No question is too bold! Anything they don't want to answer, they can and will skip.
Suggested topics are about their system lore, the headspace, past hosts or previous front team; lifestyle and accomplishments as an adult system; their experiences with Alterhumanity; and, experiences as a survivor of such circumstances that cause traumagenesis.
Sunday, July 16th ...
... Begin gathering at 3:40pm CST.
