The Jewish community marches together at the fabulous 43rd Annual Capital Pride Parade!
Let's represent the love, equality, and inclusion that the Jewish community stands for, to all of DC.
GLOE invites all individuals and Jewish groups to join our contingent of DC's LGBTQ Jews, our friends, families, and allies for this fun event. Last year, we had over 200 marchers from across dozen of Jewish groups, and we can't wait to welcome even more this year. We want to get as many of DC's Jewish groups involved as possible!
It's a festive, happy atmosphere. (Even gay, one might say...) Expect singing, dancing and maybe even a little skipping... Bring your own LGBTQ-Jewish-supportive signs, wear a GLOE t-shirt ("I ♥ Nice Jewish Girls/Boys/Queers"), or just show up and enjoy all the marching fun!
ALL ARE WELCOME!

THE JEWISH COMMUNITY MARCHES TOGETHER
Thank you to the Jewish community organizations marching
INFO FOR JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS:
Does your Jewish organization/congregation/social group/etc want to join us? Fantastic!
We welcome ALL Jewish groups to join us, and to carry your own signs or banners. All we ask - from all our marchers - is that signs are positive, friendly, and respectful... just like our Jewish Community contingent. Is your group committed to being a welcoming, inclusive place for LGBTQ Jews and want to march with us? Contact GLOE Director, Josef Palermo, for details on registration, and including your group info and logo, and more: gloe@edcjcc.org.
REGISTRATION: Why do we need you to register? There are strict numbers caps by the parade organizers, and so we need know who is showing up, to respect that and keep everyone safe. 1) What time do I have to be there? 2) What time do I have to be there? The annual Capital Pride parade steps off at 4:30pm. It will travel through Dupont Circle, New Hampshire, 17th Street, P Street, and 14th Street. (Parade Map) 3) What should I bring/wear? If you can, please wear a top that is a rainbow color - either our t-shirt or your own! (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.) 4) Can I bring my own Jewish LGBTQ sign? 5) What is the parade route? 6) Can I bring a friend? Even if they aren't Jewish/LGBTQ/etc? 7) What will we be doing, exactly? We'll also be throwing candy, and we take turns carrying the banners and signs. It's just a fun group - you can be loud if you want to be, or simply be a friendly face and wave to the crowd. 8) But I'm a little nervous of crowds... 9) But what about Shabbat? 10) Rain plan? 11) Any other questions (not answered by the Capital Pride website)? SUPPORT LGBTQ JEWISH COMMUNITY! We hope you'll support GLOE's year-round efforts to create inclusive, welcoming, and diverse community for LGBTQ Jews, through programming and offering resources nationally, as the only full-time LGBTQ program at any Jewish Community Center, anywhere. Over half our budget comes from individual donors like YOU! Thank you! These events will be photographed. Questions? Contact GLOE Director, Josef Palermo: gloe@edcjcc.org.
