BushwickPride16 Public Event version

Duplicate event bc the original was made as a private event-- both have the same event info! Come to both, all, BushwickPride X2, BushwickPride squared! SAVE THE DATE Saturday August 6th 2016 #BushwickPride #BushwickPride16 #BallroomThemePride #AllSummer16 GLOBE Bushwick invites you to its 11th year #BushwickPride! Bushwick is a black and brown gayborhood that has hosted a local pride and a diva bash since before gentrification and will continue to do so as we combat it! #BushwickPride aspires to uplift and center the black and brown folks who live and have lived here-- including our youth, our elders, immigrants, the diasporas, and our ancestors. With our anti-gentrification theme last year, we took over the block and decided to take it over every year. This year's theme and focus is our SURVIVAL through dance, music, and performance! This is an event by the community and for the community happening annually for over 10 years trumping the assumption that PoC communities don't support our queer siblings! It is organized by GLOBE, the LGBTQI Justice Project of Make the Road NY as a celebration of the local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and gender non-conforming (LGBTQGNC) people of color (POC) living in Bushwick and the larger Brooklyn area. On Saturday, August 6th we are taking the streets to march to Maria Hernandez Park (Knickerbocker park) and back to our block! Then we will kick off a *ballroom* themed block party with FREE FOOD, music by local queer DJs, and performers! The street will be filled with wafting smells of sofrito and frituras, jamz, wellness at our lil' farm, and swag from community folx. WEPA! STAY TUNED FOR EVENT UPDATES IN THE COMING WEEKS.
