#ottawa pride

[newsfromstolenland]

Last Tuesday, Capital Pride issued four "commitments," pledging to recognize the "ongoing genocide" in Gaza in opening remarks, integrate a boycott list into its sponsorship reviews, host a "queer Arab showcase" and call for a ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages and increased humanitarian aid.

Haley Robinson, Capital Pride's grand marshal, also weighed in while attending CANFAR's brunch.

"I don't think the statement was meant for anybody to feel unwelcome," Robinson said, adding that it's necessary that Pride remains open to polarizing conversations — including ones about global conflicts.

"People have to remember that Pride isn't just about a parade and celebration," they said. "It's always been advocacy. It's always been a fight … so I think it's really important to continue to show your support for Palestinians and for other folks who are marginalized."

Ottawa friends - as you may know our Pride parade is being heavily attacked for taking a principled stand on Palestine. Through deliberately misrepresenting the statement (shown below) on Palestinian solidarity, the right wing mayor has led a charge that has stripped them of all corporate or government sponsors.

Sadly, our school board was pushed to pull out by extremist trustees. This is very personal to me as I know what it's like going to school without feeling support, and I truly believe that the kids getting a chance to participate should take precedence over petty politics.

If you are from the area please consider signing this letter asking them to reverse their decision.

first link is to add your voice, second is the original statement.

Pride nights in Hockey survey

Hey, I'm reaching the last 48 hours of data collection for my survey, and I'm trying to get that last little surge of people before I close it at 23:59 MST on Saturday, March 25th.

I've linked my twitter post, and I'm asking if you can repost it if possible, there is absolutely no pressure to do so.

So again, I am beyond grateful for all the help I've received for this, and I look forward to sharing the results with everyone once I've presented with my team.
