Dear Pride Family,
San Diego Pride stands united with leaders across our region in reaffirming our commitment to protect and uplift our LGBTQIA+ community. In the face of mounting challenges, our collective strength, resilience, and dedication to justice shine brighter than ever.
Yesterday, January 15, 2025, LGBTQIA+ organizations, elected officials, and allies across San Diego County came together in solidarity to declare in one voice: we are ready to meet any challenge.
Our community has a proud history of banding together in times of struggle and being there to support each other just as we did at Stonewall, during the AIDS crisis and right here in our own city with the first Pride March in 1974.
We band together again to ready for what lies ahead and face it hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder – we will gather and unite to protect the most marginalized in our community. We affirm our collective commitment to preserve basic Human Rights and to:
San Diego Pride stands firm with our partners, allies, and community members. Together, we will rise to ensure that everyone can live authentically, thrive without fear, and create a world rooted in justice and equality.
With pride and solidarity,
Leane Marchese
