Four months into the Trump administration’s second term, we’ve filed nearly 60 lawsuits to combat its relentless assault on civil liberties. Central to their agenda have been efforts to stifle free speech — specifically targeting immigrants and testing the rule of law in the process.

Alongside our allies, partners, affiliates, and organizers, we are fighting back.

Saturday, June 14, beginning at 10:30am; the step-off will be at the intersection of Broad St. and High St. near the Ohio Statehouse

June 28, 1969 marked the beginning of the Stonewall Uprising, a series of events between police and LGBTQ+ protesters that stretched over six days. While the Stonewall Inn and Uprising became well known due to the media coverage and the subsequent annual Pride traditions, it was simply the fulcrum upon which years of LGBTQ+ activism shifted.

With over 200 nonprofit and corporate vendors, two performance stages (Pride Stage + Red [Space] Stage), a community wellness area, a DJ/dancing pad, and a plethora of community resources, there will be something at the festival for you!
