Dear friends,
On 28 June 1969, New York City's Stonewall Inn was violently raided by the police.
The LGBT+ community reacted with riots of resistance. These protests became one of the most important events in the global LGBT+ movement. From then on, June became Pride month in many places around the world.
Here are three things you can do this week to celebrate Pride and stand in solidarity with those who can't:
Whether you're headed to a march or celebrating with friends, whether you're an LGBT+ person or an ally, we want you to join us as we come together – online and offline.
We want to make our Pride celebration truly global! Join us?
It's really simple: Post a picture of your Pride celebration to Instagram or Twitter and tag it #AllOutPride18.
All Out has just launched our very own online shop, Luc!
Each purchase from our shop turns into direct support for All Out's work. After production costs, every single penny goes towards the fight for love and equality for LGBT+ people around the world.
Earlier this month we asked you to join us in showing solidarity and celebrate the first ever Pride event in Swaziland (funded by All Out members!).
The event will happen next weekend, on 30 June – and our Executive Director Matt and I will be joining our partners on the ground in Swaziland.
And if you're not on Instagram, we'll also be posting updates on Facebook and Twitter, so stay tuned!

Thank you for going All Out for Pride around the world!
Mathias Wasik,
Senior Campaigns Manager
