Thank You For Being the Fabric of Freedom!

Thank you to every member of our global LGBTQ+ community for helping make WorldPride Washington, DC 2025 a celebration of freedom, resilience, and joy. We first learned that we would play host to this incredible gathering in November of 2022. The two and half years since then have brought together scores of new friends, colleagues, and allies – the true Fabric of Freedom that defines our Pride movement.

We reminded the world that we are stronger together, and we are not going anywhere.

Together, we set out to create a WorldPride that would inspire, connect, and empower our community.
Together, against an onslaught of attacks, attempts to erase us, and to legislate our lives, we met the moment with a unified voice.
Together, we marched, we danced, and we welcomed the world to our hometown – a place that remains the heart of our work in the US.
Together, we made history when it seemed impossible.

Thank you to every volunteer, partner, advocate, and community member who helped create this beautiful Fabric of Freedom.

See you for Capital Pride 2026, June 8-June 14, and let’s not forget to #HavePride365!
