our Mission
Wenatchee Pride’s mission is to empower and connect the NCW LGBTQIA2S+ community and its allies toward creating and maintaining a safe, anti-racist, inclusive and equitable environment for all.
OUR VISION
Wenatchee Pride envisions a world in which all LGBTQ+ people can live and love openly, as their most authentic selves, within the NCW communities they call home.
Gay pride or LGBTQ+ pride is the positive stance against discrimination and violence toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning people to promote their self-affirmation, dignity, equality rights, increase their visibility as a social group, build community, and celebrate sexual diversity and gender variance. Pride, as opposed to shame and social stigma, is the predominant outlook that bolsters most LGBTQ+ rights movements throughout the world.
WE STAND COMMITTED:
1. To affirm explicitly and in united solidarity our identity as an anti-racist academic unit.
2. To purposefully strive to identify, discuss and challenge issues of race, color, ethnicity and the impact(s) they have on our organization, community and society.
3. To the development and implementation of strategies and best-practices that dismantle racism and ethnic oppression within all aspects of our organization, community and society.
““We should indeed keep calm in the face of difference, and live our lives in a state of inclusion and wonder at the diversity of humanity.””
