The Queer Liberation March returned to Manhattan on June 29, organized by the Reclaim Pride Coalition. This year's event marked its seventh iteration, honoring the legacy of the Stonewall Riots while advocating for a Pride free from police and corporate influence. Jay W. Walker expressed hope for strong turnout driven by recent threats to rights, while Janis Stacy highlighted collective struggles faced by Trans people and immigrants. The march also included a land acknowledgment in recognition of Indigenous peoples, reinforcing the community’s interconnectedness and historical context.
We're all under attack, they're just coming after Trans people and immigrants first, said Janis Stacy, acknowledging the urgency and collective struggle faced by marginalized communities.
We are representing the widest swath of humankind. And the world hopefully will see that not all Americans and that most Americans are not buying into that garbage, said Jay W. Walker, emphasizing unity.
