John,

Just because we didn’t march in D.C., doesn’t mean we aren't celebrating Pride and the beauty of our great LGBTQ+ community. The Capital Pride Alliance in Washington, D.C. is hosting a series of events in October to celebrate Pride. We hope you’re able to join and support our LGBTQ+ community. Event information is included below:

Saturday, October 3, 1pm – 3:30pm

Pride and Trans visibility will travel through Washington, D.C. with the first ever Capital Pridemobile, in partnership with the National Trans Visibility March. The Pridemobile will kick-off the 2020 National Trans Visibility Virtual March as it traverses the Nation’s Capital to entertain, be visible, and encourage citizens to exercise their right to vote in November.
