Oakland Pride is committed to facilitating leadership and coalition building for the funding and development of the first LGBTQ community center in Oakland for everyone. East Bay Pride was celebrated in Oakland from to Pride had not taken place in Oakland since that time.
Since the renewal of this effort, Oakland Pride has been busy networking with allies and partners. As we continue to raise funds for the festival, the longer-term goal is to support our larger goal for the creation of an LGBT Community Center in Oakland for everyone.
Oakland Pride is a c 3 non-profit corporation. We are presently applying for sponsorship support from foundations and corporations.
The funding will serve to not only help in the organizing of an event, but also eventually provide funding for the support of services at a future Community Center. Oakland Pride wants to be of assistance in providing a sustainable solution to implement or support needed services for challenges in our community—especially in low-income, multi-cultural elder and young LGBT communities.
We will be in good company among the booths for various community organizations and services. Ample food and drink offerings will be available within the Festival grounds too.
Pride had not taken place in Oakland since that time. Since then, members of the Roundtable and the LGBT community representing all walks of life decided that it was time to resuscitate Oakland Pride for the long term and to advocate for LGBT rights and interests, including the development of the community center.
Since the renewal of this effort, Oakland Pride has been busy networking with allies and partners. Oakland Pride wants to be of assistance in providing a sustainable solution to implement or support needed services for challenges in our community—especially in low-income, multi-cultural elder and young LGBT communities. To do so, the organization collaborates with a host of organizations that help our community and that represent the breadth and depth of LGBT people throughout the East Bay.
According to Oakland Pride, Oakland is home to the third largest LGBTQ community in the country, with the highest concentration of lesbian households per capita. It is little wonder then that the Parade and Festival reach around 50,, and that number is sure to grow this year. San Francisco-based Priceonomics, which studied data from the U. Census, has named Oakland the most diverse city in the country. Some street parking is available and there are nearby lots, but the best way to go is via BART.
Several after parties will follow the festivities.
