NEW CAMPAIGN! Follow @noprideingenocide to get involved.
THERE IS NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE!
As people celebrate Pride, queer and trans rights and lives are being weaponized by Israel and the United States to justify genocide of the Palestinian people. Yet Pride organizations, alongside national LGBTQIA+ orgs that claim to represent our community, have remained silent while platforming corporations responsible for the genocide, such as weapons manufacturers.
This Pride month, we demand that Pride organizations heed the call from queer and trans people of conscience: Ban the corporations profiting off of the genocide of our people and the desecration of our communities! Condemn pinkwashing and homonationalism! Call to block the bombs and end all U.S. complicity in Israel’s massive violence now!
If Pride organizations and national orgs choose not to listen, they will answer to us. Check out this toolkit for the list of demands, ways to confront your Pride organization effectively, and tons of resources to take action on their indifference.
Marsha P. Johnson said, “There is no Pride for some of us without liberation for all of us.” We will not stay silent while Israel and the U.S. government perpetrate a genocide in our names.

No Pride in Genocide: Campaign
It’s Time for Pride to divest from weapons, war, & Genocide.
-
“No Pride for some of us Without liberation for all of us.” - Marsha P. Johnson
Queer and trans rights and lives are being weaponized by Israel and the United States to justify genocide of the Palestinian people. Yet Pride organizations, alongside national LGBTQIA+ orgs that claim to represent our community, have remained silent on the genocide while platforming corporations largely responsible for the genocide.
-
We Demand that Pride:
Publicly BAN WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS from any participation, whether in parades and events or through sponsorship.
SUPPORT PALESTINIANS and their resistance against apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.
Publicly CONDEMN AND DISMANTLE PINKWASHING and Homonationalism.
Publicly call for an END TO ARMING ISRAEL.
CUT TIES with all corporate entities that profit from war, surveillance, detention and incarceration, environmental destruction, and individual/community displacement.
BAN POLICE from marching and participating in Pride events and publicly denounce state violence inflicted on our communities.
-
Take Action
Pride organizations are actively complicit in the genocide being carried out by Israel and the US government against Palestinians. Here’s a process for confronting Pride orgs in your locality.
Get Your People Together - Queer and trans organizers, visual artists, drag queens, DJs, nightlife and cultural workers are all down to throw down and have been at the forefront of the movement this whole time. Get your people together.
-
2. Do Your Research - What corporations are sponsoring your Pride? Weapons manufacturers? Banks that invest in prisons, war, environmental destruction? Police? Do your research.
3. Dialogue - Engaging your target directly is a tried and true first step to escalate strategically. We want to engage with our Pride orgs before deciding if/how to escalate.
-
2. Digital Escalation - If Pride organizations won't meet our demands, digital escalation is the next step. Petitions, open letters, and letter-writing campaigns are a great place to start.
3. Creative Escalation - Still not listening? How did we guess? Creative action is what we queer and trans folks are best known for. No Pride in Genocide!

Queer and Trans People of Conscience Demand:
It’s Time for Pride to divest from weapons, war, & Genocide.
-
This Pride month, pride organizations must take bold action to stop the genocide of palestinians.
Queer and trans rights and lives are being weaponized by Israel and the United States to justify genocide of the Palestinian people. Yet Pride organizations, alongside national LGBTQIA+ orgs that claim to represent our community, have remained silent on the genocide while platforming corporations largely responsible for the genocide.
We demand action.
-
Pride Must Publicly BAN WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS from any participation, whether in parades and events or through sponsorship.
Weapons manufacturers are directly profiting, aiding, and abetting Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people. Building a safer world for all queer and trans people demands that we all rise up against these dealers of death.
-
Pride Must SUPPORT PALESTINIANS And their resistance against apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.
Pride must honor its roots in resistance by publicly supporting the Palestinian people's right to live free from colonial rule in their land, their right to return to their homes, and their right to resist colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and genocide by any means necessary as enshrined in international law.
-
Pride Must Publicly CONDEMN AND DISMANTLE PINKWASHING and Homonationalism.
Israel and the US use pinkwashing and homonationalism to weaponize queer and trans lives as justification for the genocide of Palestinians. Pride must speak out when genocide is being carried out in our names.
-
Pride must Publicly call for an END TO ARMING ISRAEL.
Not calling for an immediate end to arming Israel is an endorsement of the genocide. Pride must call for an call for an arms embargo now.
-
Pride Must CUT TIES with all corporate entities that profit from war, surveillance, detention and incarceration, environmental destruction, and individual/community displacement.
Industries that profit from war, surveillance, detention and incarceration, environmental destruction, and community displacement are profiting off of the same systems used to normalize Israel’s violent occupation and genocide. From Palestine to Sudan to Congo to Turtle Island, none of us are free until all of us are.
-
Pride must BAN POLICE from marching and participating in Pride events and publicly denounce state violence inflicted on our communities.
Pride must honor its roots as a riot against police brutality and stand with pro-Palestine protestors – the majority of whom are Black, Brown, Indigenous, queer and trans. Denounce the state violence and surveillance being inflicted on our communities as we fight for the liberation of Palestine.
-
If Pride doesnt listen, they answer to us.
