The Western Massachusetts chapter of Pride at Work, a national organization of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender members that are part of the labor movement, are organizing a contingent for the 31st Annual Northampton Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride celebration on Saturday, May 12th in downtown Northampton.
Pride at Work- Western Mass. invites all union members and allies to join us as we march to demonstrate mutual support of the L/G/B/T community and the Labor Movement for social & economic justice. If you can't march with us in the parade, please look for our information table at the rally.
Pride at Work- Western Mass. meets monthly in downtown Northampton on the first Wednesday from 4:00-5:30 pm in the Frances Crowe Community Room of the Media Education Foundation, 60 Masonic St., (Behind Woodstar Cafe), Northampton. Our next meeting is scheduled for April 4th. New members are always welcome.
UPDATE - We will gather between the Northampton Brewery and the parking garage at 11:30 am on May 12th. We hope to have many representatives from progressive labor and its allies in the march. We will be hosting a sign-making party at the Local 2322 office on Wednesday, May 9th from 4:00-6:00 pm (prior to the Executive Board meeting.)
