Oakland Pride 2025 adopts the theme "In Unity, We Thrive," emphasizing collective action for equality, justice, and mutual support. The message stresses that Pride in Oakland and the Bay Area is celebrated year-round and rooted in resistance, visibility, and love. The region's long history of leadership in LGBTQ+ equality is affirmed amid ongoing national debates about basic human rights. The community is urged to get involved by donating, employers supporting LGBTQ+ staff and sponsoring the event, and local businesses and groups providing services and resources. A direct message of solidarity assures those in need that they are seen, heard, and not alone.
As we prepare to come together once again on Sunday, September 7, 2025, I'm honored to share this year's Oakland Pride theme: "In Unity, We Thrive." With everything happening in the world, this theme couldn't be timelier. Now more than ever, we must unite. We must come together as a community-to stand up, speak out, and show up-for equality, for justice, and for one another.
In a country where our basic human rights are still being debated and challenged, we are proud to live in a region that has long stood strong, fought hard, and led the way in the movement for LGBTQ+ equality. Pride isn't just a party. It's a powerful tradition rooted in resistance, visibility, and love. And when we move together, we create real change.
