THERE IS NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE!

As people celebrate Pride, Queer and Trans rights and lives are being weaponized by Israel and the United States to justify genocide of the Palestinian people. 36,000 deaths later, Pride organizations – alongside national LGBTQIA+ orgs that claim to represent our community – remain silent on the genocide while championing corporations largely responsible for the genocide.

This Pride month, we demand that Pride organizations heed the call from Queer and Trans people of conscience: ban the corporate entities profiting off of the genocide of our people and the desecration of our communities! Condemn pinkwashing and homonationalism! Call for an immediate, permanent ceasefire now!  

If Pride organizations and national orgs choose not to listen, they will answer to us. Check out this toolkit for the list of demands, ways to confront your Pride organization effectively, and tons of resources to take action on their indifference.

Marsha P. Johnson said, “There is no Pride for some of us without liberation for all of us.” We will not stay silent while Israel and the U.S. government perpetrate a genocide in our names.

  • No Pride in Genocide: A Guide to Pride

    This Pride month, we demand that Pride organizations heed the call from Queer and Trans people of conscience: ban corporate entities profiting off of the genocide in palestine and the desecration of our communities across the world! Condemn pinkwashing and homonationalism! Call for an immediate, permanent ceasefire now and An end to arming israel!

  • “No Pride for some of us Without liberation for all of us.” - Marsha P. Johnson

    Queer and Trans rights and lives are being weaponized by Israel and the United States to justify genocide of the Palestinian people. Yet Pride organizations – alongside national LGBTQIA+ orgs that claim to represent our community – have remained silent on the genocide while championing corporations largely responsible for the genocide.

  • We Demand that Pride:

    1. Publicly ban weapons manufacturers from any participation, whether in parades and events or through sponsorship.

    2. Support Palestinians and their resistance against apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.

    3. Publicly condemn pinkwashing and homonationalism.

    4. Publicly call for an immediate, permanent ceasefire and an end to arming Israel.

    5. Cut ties with all corporate entities that profit from war, detention and incarceration, environmental destruction, and individual/community displacement.

    6. Ban Police from marching and participating in Pride events and publicly denounce state violence inflicted on our communities.

  • Take Action

    Pride organizations are actively complicit in the genocide being carried out by Israel and the US government against Palestinians. Here’s a process for confronting Pride orgs in your locality.

    1. Get Your People Together- Queer and Trans organizers, visual artists, drag queens, DJs, nightlife and cultural workers are all down to throw down and have been at the forefront of the movement this whole time. Get your people together.

  • Take Action

    2. Do Your Research - What corporations are sponsoring your Pride? Weapons manufacturers? Banks that invest in prisons, war, environmental destruction? Police? Do your research.

    3. Dialogue - Engaging your target directly is a tried and true first step to escalate strategically. We want to engage with our Pride orgs before deciding if/how to escalate.

  • Take Action

    2. Digital Escalation- If Pride organizations won't meet our demands, digital escalation is the next step. Petitions, open letters, and letter-writing campaigns are a great place to start.

    3. Creative Escalation - Still not listening? How did we guess? Creative action is what we Queer and Trans folks are best known for. No Pride in Genocide!

  • Ready to Organize? If Pride doesnt listen, they answer to us. Read the Toolkit: themasgd.org/pride-toolkit
