Statement from Dallas Pride

Dallas Pride stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Our founders fought against police brutality at Stonewall just as police oppression against people of color and other marginalized communities is still being battled today. Racial injustice, systemic racism and any form of oppression cannot be accepted, and neither can the senseless killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many others. While we are not able to host an in-person event in 2020 for Dallas Pride or for Black Lives Matter due to health concerns related to the COVID pandemic, we stand together with our Black community, with our friends, neighbors, volunteers, supporters and allies, in the vision of a nation where there truly is liberty and justice for all.
