New York City's 56th annual Pride March is set for June 29, emphasizing its roots as a protest against discrimination. This year's theme, 'Rise Up: Pride in Protest,' underscores the importance of advocacy amidst rising hostility toward the LGBTQIA+ community. Event organizers remind participants that Pride is not just a joyous celebration of identity, but also a powerful statement of resistance for justice and equity for marginalized individuals. They highlight the need for solidarity and support in the current political climate, urging communities to come together in defiance of adversity.
This year, more than ever, we acknowledge that Pride can be celebrated in many ways, but at the heart of our mission, we recognize that we must also remain steadfast in protest.
The challenges we face today, particularly in this political climate, require us to stand together in solidarity. We must support one another, because when the most marginalized among us are granted their rights, all of us benefit.
