Pride began as a protest.
In 1969, trans women like Marsha “Pay It No Mind” Johnson and Sylvia Rivera led an uprising against police violence and systemic discrimination. Their resistance laid the foundation for the modern LGBTQIA+ movement.
Today, Pro-Choice Washington is proud to continue that legacy and use our voice when community members are being marginalized.
When we come together in love and protest, we can build a movement that is more visible, compassionate, and powerful.
Across the country, LGBTQIA+ communities, people seeking reproductive and gender-affirming care, and immigrant families are facing unprecedented threats to their safety and well being.
Self-managed abortions are one of the most powerful tools patients have to maintain bodily autonomy. Whether you’re seeking care for yourself or supporting someone else, it’s critical to know your options.
Trans liberation and reproductive freedom are part of the same fight. Bodily autonomy means the ability to make decisions about our own lives, our own care, and our own futures.
In a moment when right-wing forces are trying to erase us, our joy, our survival, and our resistance are acts of defiance.
Let’s keep showing up for each other, for our futures, and for our freedom.
