Protest and Parade with Pride

All around the world, Pride marches and events are held to celebrate hard won rights for LGBTQ2S people and to continue demanding equality. But in many parts of the world, Prides are not allowed to take place or face backlash, repression, and violence and many activists working to ensure LGBTQ2S rights are protected, respected, and upheld face harassment, criminalization, and violence. 

Take part in your local Pride to promote the rights of LGBTQ2S rights defenders.
