Message from Seattle Pride

This is not a Seattle Pride Event.

We highly recommend an article in The Atlantic entitled The Case for Reparations by Ta-Nehisi Coates, and a policy brief by the Brookings Institute, and looking into the difference between equality (everyone having the same thing, regardless of their needs) and equity (the fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all people, while at the same time striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups).
Seattle Pride supports the TWOC Solidarity Network in their efforts to create a safe place for the Black queer community to celebrate Pride.

Event Information

"To Our Community,

Our hearts break in the shadow of the recent deaths of our trans siblings Dominique Lucious, Diamond Kyree Sanders and Jaida Peterson. This Pride we honor our fallen, and raise them up! This Pride Month we take our community back!

“TAKING B[L]ACK PRIDE" is about lifting the voices, narratives, and contributions of black queer and trans voices. It’s about centering who we are and what we need to feel empowered, joyful, and heard.

****All are free to attend HOWEVER this is a BLACK AND BROWN QUEER TRANS CENTERED, PRIORITIZED, VALUED, EVENT.
White allies and accomplices are welcome to attend but will be charged a $10 to $50 reparations fee that will be used to keep this event free of cost for BLACK AND BROWN Trans and Queer COMMUNITY. ****

Please join us for our HOEVID-19 Ball with $400 category prizes and much much more!

Come join us for food, movies in the park, performances and open speak spaces, art healing spaces, music, and, dancing in a social distancing friendly park!

We will also have a Covid-19 vaccine clinic
(Masks Mandatory masks available.)
