50th anniversary of Silicon Valley Pride kicks off this weekend in San Jose
""It is much more geared towards community and focusing on diversity and inclusion. It truly is what makes up San Jose,""
""We had to really scale down. We typically have three stages that we run. This year, we just have the main stage,""
""Right now is not the time to shy away from inclusion and equity initiatives. Right now is the time to invest even harder because so many communities across our country are being impacted,""
Silicon Valley Pride will celebrate its 50th anniversary at Cesar Chavez Park and across downtown San Jose, including a new Post Street mural and local business events. Organizers emphasize community, diversity and inclusion as central themes for the weekend. Funding for the nonprofit has significantly declined, forcing a scaled-down festival with only a main stage instead of multiple stages. Some organizers attribute funding cuts to the rollback of corporate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives since President Trump’s return. Organizers urge continued investment in inclusion and equity and remain determined to celebrate despite adversity.
