Community Matters: PRIDE!

Welcome to Pride Month! Pride is a celebration of publicly embracing our authentic sexual and gender identities. The last weekend in June is dedicated to remembering the drag queens, trans folx, and other LGBTQIA and gender non-conforming humans who stood up for their right to occupy public space in the Stonewall Uprising (learn more here). This basic human right is still under attack in many corners of America and around the world, so let’s step out and make our voices heard in support of “Sexual Freedom for Everyone”! 

Visit the CSPC booth at Trans Pride in Volunteer Park on Friday, June 23; at the Capitol Hill festivities on Saturday, June 24; and at Seattle Center on Sunday, June 25. Come get your special Pride-edition wristband! Explore more Seattle Pride Month events

And of course, join the CSPC community in the Pride Parade on June 25! This year's Seattle Pride Parade is the largest in the city’s history, with 272 participating organizations registered to participate in the parade–which will be lined up for 12 blocks! The CSPC’s spot is Block 3 position 15 (between University and Seneca)! 

The parade organizers will assign us two times for set up: one time for our vehicle and float to get in position and add any last-minute decorations (like, anything that would have blown off during the trip on I-5), and a second time for our participating marchers and float riders to join us. 

Join us and show off your CSPC Pride! Please email us at pride@thecspc.org to get on the list of participants. We will be sending out meet-up information to folx on the list very soon.
