Welcome

Greetings,

Dallas/Forth Worth Pride Movement is a non-profit organization that exists to create a sense of unity and social support within the Black LGBT community. No time is better than now to come together and address issues that are directly impacting the community. We are here to educate and organize around issues that address the social, economic and holistic well being of the Black LGBT community. We are a member of the International Federation of Black Prides (http://www.ifbprides.org) and will host Black Pride here in Dallas October 4 – 7, 2012.

The mission of Dallas/Fort Worth Pride Movement is to promote social awareness, unity, self-empowerment, mentorship and positive visibility throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth LGBT and affirming community of color through education, health promotion, advocacy and coalition building.

We will provide year long activities that address our mission. These include but aren’t limited to a community business luncheon, happy hour/networking events, cultural events that merge our cultural and ethnic identity as Black LGBT people, as well as community forums and roundtable discussions around policy issues, and serve as community advocates for the Black LGBT community. The dates for these events are to be determined.

Our year long activities will build up to The Movement (Dallas Black Pride Festival). We will aid the community in support of all events during Black Pride weekend. This event will host national and local LGBT organizations and institutions that will have booths with information and resources, entertainment that will host local talent, and activities that promote family and community amongst Black LGBT and affirming individuals in Dallas/Fort Worth.

Your support is crucial as we endeavor to make this a success. We can be found online on Facebook and Twitter.  Please take a moment to visit our pages and follow our events, as we plan for Black Pride 2012 AND BEYOND!
