The theme is "Speak Out Against Racism And Discrimination, Stand Up For Inclusion." While many have worked for years to create greater inclusion, recently there has been a groundswell of people speaking out. The coalition embraces this moment to help bring about real change and make a claim for greater racial, gender, age, class, and other forms of belonging among San Francisco's LGBT people. The march strives to inspire ongoing action from all in our community-as individuals, workers, business owners, community organizers, and leaders-to make San Francisco a truly welcoming homeland for all LGBT people. Organizers include Black Rap, And Castro For All, ANSWER, Asian Pacific Islander Queer Women and Transgender Coalition, the Harvey Milk Democratic Club, the SF LGBT Pride Celebration Committee, and the Gay Asian Pacific Alliance. To date, over 20 other organizations have joined as co-sponsors, pledging to bring support and energy to this powerful event. Co-sponsors include: AIDS Emergency Fund, AIDS Housing Alliance, Alice B. Toklas Democratic Club, API Wellness, Bay Area American Indian Two Spirits, Breast Cancer Emergency Fund, Community United Against Violence, Ellas En Accion, Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network-SFEB, In Partnership Consulting, Inc., Lavender Caucus of SEIU, Lesbians & Gays of African Descent Democratic Association, Marriage Equality California, Men of All Colors Together, Nia Collective, Positive Resource Center, Pride at Work, Queers for Peace and Justice, Remembering Our Dead, San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, San Francisco Lesbian Chorus, Sistahs Steppin' in Pride, Team SF, UC Berkeley School of Law Queer Caucus. |
