Event Guidelines 🖤 Center Queer Trans BIPOC Experiences Be intentional with our mission in lifting up the stories of trans youth and black and brown queer trans people of color. Take action with, not for, people of trans lived experience. Speak up, not over, and use your voice to amplify the message of community members. 🤎 Be Hella Inclusive We invite the entire Bay Area across all intersecting identities to attend our rally. This will be a peaceful protest. Use the buddy system, be mindful of folx with accessibility needs, and be open to perspectives and ideas different than yours. 💙 Respect Personal Space Practice social distancing and wear a mask if you are not yet vaccinated. 💖 Make Connections Seek out speakers and resources through networking. Know the names and stories of those who have fallen victim to anti-trans violence. Understand that queer trans lives are under attack. No Pride for Some of Us Without Liberation for All of Us.

It all started back in 1975 as a gay rights rally and evolved into San Jose Pride Festival in 1976. The following year, 1977 San Jose added its first parade to the celebration. In 2014 San Jose Pride was changed to Silicon Valley Pride to include neighboring cities to encourage unity. It is now the largest Pride celebration of the South Bay and is a family friendly event. That is 44 years of honoring and celebrating our rights to choose whom we love and spend our lives with! The LGBTQ+ movement has been built on the backs of people who have fought hard for equality and progression. We choose to honor those individuals and those whom we’ve lost. It is important, now more than ever, to make our voices heard and to celebrate our diversity! We will not be pushed aside and we will not be erased!
