We will be meeting at Dana Park at 5pm then beginning to march down Lark Street at 5:15pm to the Albany Social Justice Center where we will have our youth speak out and dialogue.
⋆⋆SPEAK OUT⋆⋆
Are you a young person who wants to share your story, express your feelings, talk about what we can do to support one another, something else? Bring your thoughts and participate! We wanna hear you!
⋆⋆BE SEEN⋆⋆
Make signs, banners, shirts and show the Capital Region that we stand with other cities and communities and want to support trans and gender non-conforming young people, and be the change. We will also have materials to make signs at Dana Park.
⋆⋆STAY WITH US⋆⋆
After the march, rally, and vigil, come back to the Pride Center (332 Hudson Avenue) where we invite youth ages 18 and under to stay for our Friday Night LGBTQA Youth Group. Group goes from 7-8:30pm and meets every week at the center.
