March in the LGBTQ+ Parade on 3/30

From LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus of Palm Beach County

The LGBTQ+ community has been fighting discrimination for years, but now more than ever our civil rights are under attack. And we know that once the trans community is gone, the rest of the LGBTQ+ community is next, despite making up 9.3 percent of the US population, according to a new Gallup survey.

We need to add your presence and your voice to our Pride Parade contingent as a demonstration of your support for our community, which is a core constituency of the Democratic Party. Last year, we voted for Kamala Harris and Democrats by 86 percent. Marching with us, our elected officials, and Democrats from around the County behind a Democratic banner sends a message as we struggle to keep Palm Beach County blue.

We will gather from 9:45-10:15 on Sunday, March 30, on Lucerne between K & L Avenues, with a step off time of 11am, and a wrap up around noon. The parade route is the same as always — in downtown Lake Worth Beach west on Lucerne Ave., a quick turn on Dixie Highway, then east on Lake Ave., wrapping up in Bryant Park. We will not know our place in the parade lineup until that morning, but we generally are midway through, with a gathering spot around Lucerne Ave. and J St.

To enter the festival in Bryant Park after the parade, you may get a ticket on eventeny.

We would appreciate your participation with us — and bring some of your members! This is the year for a large crowd behind our banner. We already have commitments from several elected and party officials, including FDP Vice Chair Daniel Henry and FDP Treasurer Wes Hodge. I’m happy to provide more information, and we will add updates to our website, pbclgbtqdems.org.
