GLOBE, the LGBTQI Justice Project of Make the Road NY, welcomes Bushwick and the greater Brooklyn area to their 11th annual #BushwickPride2016 at Make the Road NY this Saturday, August 6th at noon.

A celebration of local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and gender non-conforming people of color, #BushwickPride2016 aims to debunk a presumption that PoC are unsupportive of the queer community.

Standing apart from prior years, this year’s Bushwick Pride will also serve as an end of year celebration for MRNY’s Youth Power Projects from both Queens and Staten Island. “It’ll be a shared space of many intersecting and shared identities,” says Paolo Lebron-Guzman of MRNY.
