In 2023 we have seen a rise in anti-trans and anti-queer hatred and violence. Pride events across the nation have begin advocating more support around these issues, and working together to ensure that everyone is able to enjoy pride safely this year. Check out the links below and follow our No Hate safety plan for a safe and fun Pride!

1. See something? Say Something
If you notice anything disrespectful, hateful or inappropriate towards yourself or anyone else, flag down or grab a safety volunteer wearing a pink shirt and high vis vest!
2. Don’t engage with haters!
Don’t speak to, argue with or respond to haters. Some of them may be out to pick a fight. Enjoy the festival and leave the haters to us by flagging down a safety volunteer wearing a pink shirt and high vis vest!
