Youngstown Community Pride is an affirming, trans-led, anti-racist community event that is welcoming of all and explicitly centered on ensuring our most vulnerable community members feel safe and welcome. To that end, we welcome non-profits and community projects who serve the LGBTQIA+ community, are run by LGBTQIA+ people, and/or have public access policies that affirm LGBTQIA+ people, including any an all forms of gender expansive community to table at our event on June 7 in the Wick Park neighborhood.

We want to uplift the communities that actively support us.

Tabling is free and is limited to Mahoning Valley, NE Ohio, and Western PA non-profits and community projects that expressly serve the LGBTQIA+ community, civil rights, and/or have missions that explicitly support said communities and have pro-LGBTQIA+ support and anti-discrimination policies in place, and who have a commitment to welcoming gender expansive Valley residents as part of their work.

We're excited to host you at this fun, free, inclusive event celebrating the Valley LGBTQIA+ community and building better connections with one another in these trying times. Now more than ever it's important for us to show up and let the community know where reliable, care-oriented resources and businesses are - thank you for being part of that.

Tabling is free. If you have capacity and interest in making a donation to help make pride accessible to the most people, please consider sponsoring the event or making a general donation.

Please feel free to reach out to youngstowncommunitypride@gmail.com with any questions.
