Join RECAMFT for the Sonoma County Dyke March & Lez-A-Palooza!
Sunday, June 21st
Old Courthouse Square in Santa Rosa
March begins at 11am. Please plan to arrive by 10:30am to join RECAMFT.
RECAMFT invites our members to join us in this Sonoma County event to support our lesbian colleagues and clients, and the overall LGBTQIA+ community!
From the event organizers:
Sonoma County DYKE MARCH is an inclusive, grassroots, intergenerational movement bringing together Lesbian, Queer, Transgender, Non-Binary, Sapphic people, the full LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum, and our allies to resist attacks on our rights, bodies, and lives.
We honor the legacy of the Lesbians and Queer women who have been the backbone of social justice movements. We uplift Elder Lesbians, reclaim the word Dyke as a symbol of pride and defiance, and bestow this legacy on the next generation.
We organize amid immense and escalating backlash against trans lives, queer rights, reproductive freedom, marriage equality, racial justice, immigrant communities, and democracy itself. Too many have sacrificed too much for us to stand by while our rights erode.
Silence is not an option.
We march for visibility, dignity, and justice.
We say: Not here. Not now. Not ever.
The DYKE MARCH march is a short walk to Old Courthouse Square where Lez-A-Palooza events await. All events and booths will be interactive. We are creating a place where strangers become teammates, where art is created together, where we all rediscover play, and share laughter, joy, and connection. We hope that with spontaneous encounters, we can transform the square into a living village.
