Relearning Pride as a Movement for Civil Rights

Pride is Protest: Always ground Pride in its activist roots. Centre underrepresented voices, apply intersectionality, and focus campaigns on meaningful, community-driven issues.

Plan Strategically and Early: Start organising and defining themes 6 months ahead; integrate Pride with year-round messaging and prepare to adapt to changing political contexts.

Streamline and Collaborate: Create reusable organising templates, engage community input early, and recruit and support volunteers to distribute workload and build capacity.

Communicate and Engage Wisely: Build relationships with media, craft quality (not quantity) digital content, and use human-centered storytelling to amplify voices safely and powerfully.

Sustain and Adapt: Approach Pride as an ongoing commitment. Stay positive amidst backlash, prioritise accessibility, plan for rest, and connect Pride efforts with broader campaigns for resilience and long-term impact.
