We #HavePride365 in Washington, DC!
The Capital Pride Alliance is committed to ensuring that our communities feel supported, connected, and safe. We know that moments of heightened police presence in Washington, DC can be especially stressful for immigrants, unhoused neighbors, and LGBTQ+ individuals.
This page is designed to connect community members, allies, and local businesses with vital resources—from housing, food, and legal aid to health services, safety hotlines, and affirming spaces. Whether you’re seeking help or looking for ways to support those most impacted, you’ll find trusted organizations and practical tools here.
DC is, and continues to be, a place of community, celebration, and connection. From local food and nightlife, to arts, culture, and special events, the city offers countless experiences that reflect its diverse and thriving spirit.
Together, we can uplift and protect one another, ensuring DC remains a place where every person is valued, seen, and celebrated.
