Our Legacy
In addition to helping ensure the Capital Pride Alliance will have the resources to further its advocacy, outreach, education, and programming in support of our intersectional community, your contribution at any level will help keep the legacy of Pride alive as we get through this pandemic and prepare for the 50th Anniversary of Pride in the Nation’s Capital in 2025.
The protests from which Pride celebrations originated remain at the heart of the annual commemorations. Because the accomplishments for which we have fought so hard and struggled so long have been in peril, the LGBTQ+ community must join with one another and with other civil rights communities to proclaim very clearly that the rights we’ve secured are here to stay, and those we have lost must be restored.
