Today is the day, as with every day, to show up for black lives. As we said in the statement we issued last week, queer people, and especially white queer people, can not continue to stand by as public institutions continue to perpetrate violence against the vulnerable.
We strongly encourage all who are able to show up on Friday, June 12 2020 at the State Street side of the Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. The address 30 North Carrol Street, Madison, WI 53703 will work for navigation.
From the event organizers:
Happy Pride! Join us on Friday, June 12 at the Captial as we celebrate Pride and honor Black LGBTQI+ leaders.
As part of this event, in our Black queer lineage we will have a mini-ball! The category is: Protest Realness! Come in your best protest gear & bring your most beautiful & creative protest signs! Extra sign making supplies will be on hand. Prize for the winner!
