The Taking Back Pride Coalition will continue to protest Twin Cities Pride until our demands are met. In addition to demands directed at TC Pride's general operations TBP maintains Solidarity Demands, as we recognize that our struggles are connected. Every struggle for justice directly impacts the struggle of our own community- from housing justice to a free Palestine, no one is free until we are ALL free!
No corporations at Pride!
In particular, weapons manufacturers, fossil fuel companies and the banks that fund them have no place at Pride.
Prioritize queer and trans community members over politicians and celebrities!
The park, the parade, and performance spaces should center the most marginalized members of the local queer and trans community.
We demand TC Pride uses their platform to stand against physical and legislative attacks against trans and queer people
No Cops, no Military, no FBI at Pride!
Stop promotion and recruitment at Pride. Remove police presence from parade and park
Increase community involvement and transparency across TC Pride operations
We deserve a board that is actually reflective of our local community, not just executives and wealthy donors.
