The Dyke March during Pride Weekend, which began in 1990, embodies the radical spirit of Pride by empowering queer women through vibrant community demonstrations. Despite facing challenges including contentious route changes, leadership shifts, pandemic disruptions, and a perceived reduction in enthusiasm, a dedicated volunteer group is working to restore the march to its former glory, aiming to engage the community and amplify voices in a time of rising conservatism. Fundraising efforts have begun to counteract increasing organization costs and revitalize this significant event.
We just want to get the Dyke March back to where it was, as this huge, well-organized community event that filled the park and the streets, and amplified the voices that need to be amplified right now.
Pride Weekend Pink Saturday's Dyke March has carried on the radical essence of Pride as well, since 1990 unleashing queer womens' power in an inspiring, raucous outpouring of joy and anger.
