DISRUPT PRIDE SERIES
This Pride season, GetEQUAL is creating a series of pieces amplifying the radical roots of Pride, alongside our queer & trans history of disrupting Pride parades and festivals for their corporatization, heavy police presence and overall failure to support and uplift queer and trans youth of color. Our first piece is a photo timeline, highlighting a brief history of Pride parade disruptions, starting with ACT UP disrupting Chicago Pride parade in 1992. Our second piece is a long-form podcast episode interviewing two queer organizers who give us their insight on the importance of disrupting Pride.

PETITION ALERT:
No Justice No Pride has given Capital Pride many chances to address concerns regarding its complicity with entities that harm LGBTQ2S people, including ties with Wells Fargo, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, as well as inviting MPD to march in the parade. Stand in solidarity with No Justice No Pride efforts, and call for Capital Pride to adhere to our demands!
