Over the past two weeks, there has been an eruption of organizing and solidarity with Palestine in Ottawa’s queer community.

2025 Capital Pride grand marshal Patience Plush has invited Queers for Palestine to join them in leading the parade -- and we have accepted.

Pride belongs to all of us, and it is up to us to show that this Village stands with Palestine. Last year, Q4P had the largest contingent in the parade and this year we aim to be even louder and prouder in solidarity with Palestine.

So, will you join us in standing in solidarity with Palestine at the Capital Pride parade? Please RSVP to help us plan for the size of our contingent.

If you can't join us because you are marching in another contingent, please show your solidarity with flags, signs and keffiyehs. We want the parade to be a sea of solidarity from the start to the end!
