THE 4TH ANNUAL SAN FERNANDO VALLEY
PRIDE COMMITTEE
Hello Fam!
The #SFVPride 2017 Committee is officially underway!
SOMOS FAMILIA VALLE was founded on September 6, 2014. We organized the first San Fernando Valley Pride March and Conference on October 12, 2014 in Panorama City with the theme "COMING OUT OF THE SHADOWS". Many people belittled us and tried to stop us from organizing this event, but we did not give up. We hoped to get at least 20 out participants. Instead we had 100! Our second San Fernando Valley Pride was on November 14, 2015 in Pacoima with the theme "MORE THAN MARRIAGE", which brought together 200 neighbors. Last year, we held our third SFV Pride "A SAFER PLACE TO CALL HOME" on Saturday, November 13 in Van Nuys and more than 350 youth, parents, and allies rallied and got their free education with us. 2017 is here and we are committed to continue thriving forward. The SFV Pride March and Conference is our biggest LGBTQ+ community of the year.
We are a community-based organization, all-volunteer, created and led by local, low-income, first-generation college students who are also openly LGBTQ+ people of color and immigrants. We are courageous, passionate, and bold freedom fighters from the San Fernando Valley dedicated to support, train, empower, and mobilize LGBTQ+ people, our families, and allies for racial, gender, economic, and environmental justice.
Now more than ever, we must organize to resist bullying, rejection, exclusion, structural violence, detention, and criminalization. Many of us and our families are being directly impacted by the Donald Trump's administration and those who replicate his corruption, ignorance, political games, and fake allyship in our very own San Fernando Valley neighborhoods.
If you care about making changes in the Valley, increasing awareness, advancing empathy, and investing in our LGBTQ+ leadership, feel welcome to join us as part of this year's #SFVPride committee. We are open, excited, and intentional about welcoming new volunteer committee members this year.
Before we move any further in this process, we need your help informing our community members about this opportunity. Due to the large amount of work we will be facing in the next 4-5 months, it is critical to understand that we are looking for people who are willing to FULLY COMMIT to deliver a historical SOCIAL JUSTICE mobilization and EDUCATIONAL event. This form will stop collecting responses on June 18, 2017 at 5 p.m. Please, recommend folks, to apply here before the deadline!
If you have any questions please direct your inquiries to Alexandra Casanovas at Alexandra@SomosFamiliaValle.org
Thank you.
