This is just the start of reclaiming Pride, see you all on Saturday

ANTICAPITALIST PROTEST BACK TO PRIDE AND RETURN IT TO ITS GRASSROOTS ORIGINS. PRIDE WILL NOT BE THERE FOR CORPORATIONS THE

THEIR EXPLOITATION. NEITHER IS IT A PLACE FOR TERFS AND FASCISTS TO DIVIDE OUR COMMUNITY AND THREATEN OUR EXISTENCE WE CONSIDER ACCESSIBILITY AS ONE OF OUR HIGHEST PRIORITIES SO WE CAN DO OUR BEST AT MAKING SPACE FOR ALL QUEER PEOPLE.’ This has been coloured to look like a trans flag
Happy TDoV.
