This mobilization has no corporations, no politicians and no cops. The theme of this year’s march was “Trans & Queer, Forever Here.” Many carried signs and chanted in support of trans rights. Violence toward the trans community has intensified, as more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in legislatures across the country this year.
Workers World Party, which has been at Pride marches since 1971, had a contingent in the march with a large sign proclaiming “Defend Trans Youth! Defeat the Bigoted Bills. Crush Racism, the Patriarchy & Capitalism!” WWP also had signs in support of Starbuck workers and in solidarity with the Palestinian people, the latter declaring “From Palestine to Stonewall We Resist!”
Many people signed up at the Workers World table for more information about socialism during a rally at Foley Square, held before the march to Washington Square Park.
