Hollaback! Cleveland will be marching in the parade! In this effort, Hollaback! Cleveland will partner with Get Equal to make this effort a success!
As we draw closer to the date, we are extending the invitation to black and brown community members to join us in marching.
Reflecting on feedback concerning the landscape of Cleveland and of Pride, we are looking forward to marching with black and brown people, while our allies show support by joining us before and after the parade. This allows for more visibility for black and brown folk.
Many of the recent nationwide protests point to the whitewashing of Pride, erasing it's political intention, and in turn erasing space for the black and brown people who shouldered the first MARCH that makes way for the parade.
Please note, the focus this year is #BLACKLIVESMATTER.
Understanding the particular and often underprioritized and intersectional experience of the Black, Trans* and Black queer community, we are prioritizing Trans* women of color, Black people, and queer Black folks as we march this year.
We're also looking for allies to join us, before and after, in making this both revolution and revelry.
Please contact us via Facebook or through our website with any questions.
