We hear the many voices coming from within the Black community and our support for the community is unwavering. Christopher Street West (CSW) is engaging Black community advocacy groups, Black LGBTQ+ organizations and community leaders to align on our mission and objectives. We are committed to educating ourselves on how to be an ally in the fight against systemic social injustice and police brutality and to work for justice reform. We are here to listen and learn. More information will be shared tomorrow.

To our LA Pride family:

While we had previously cancelled all in-person events due to COVID-19, we have decided to peacefully assemble a protest in Hollywood, where the first ever permitted Pride Parade took place, in solidarity with the Black community. 50 years ago, Christopher Street West (CSW) took to the streets of Hollywood Boulevard to peacefully protest against police brutality and oppression. We feel that it is our moral imperative to honor the legacies of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, who bravely led the Stonewall uprising, by standing in solidarity with the Black community against systemic racism and joining the fight for meaningful and long-lasting reform.
The California Department of Public Health recommends that participants engaging in the march should wear face coverings at all times.
WHEN: Sunday, June 14, 2020 at 10am PT
WHERE: Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Ave. Hollywood, CA 90028

Together With Pride,
LA Pride

Today marks the beginning of Pride month. As we seek to commemorate 50 years of our history, we must remember that the first Pride started as a riot led by people of color who sought an end to police brutality and oppression. We stand with #BlackLivesMatter – our digital #LAPride50 moments will pause today & tomorrow in solidarity.

As Christopher Street West / LA Pride moves into P

As Christopher Street West / LA Pride moves into Pride Month and the commemoration of the organization’s 50th anniversary, LA Pride recognizes and stands in solidarity with Black people suffering consistent injustice in our country.
Just as Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, pioneers of the Gay Liberation Movement, galvanized by the Stonewall Riots of 1969, realized that actions must speak louder than words, Christopher Street West, a community of LGBTQIA2-S individuals and allies, extends support to continue to unite against oppression, police brutality, racism, transphobia, and the many other disparities disproportionately impacting communities of color, particularly Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people.
Christopher Street West/ LA Pride was founded during a movement centered on addressing inequity and injustice, and we will continue to stay true to our mission.
