Pull for Pride Alabama

Bars and Stripes Fitness is bringing Pull for Pride to Tuscaloosa, Alabama!

Pull for Pride is a series of deadlift-only fundraisers created in response to the lack of spaces for LGBTQIA2+ people to safely engage in sport and fitness. Rooted in a celebration of TGNC participation, Pull for Pride has always drawn a sharp contrast with the norm in strength sport competitions, which commonly discriminate against TGNC athletes.

All Pull for Pride events benefit an LGBTQIA2+ organization local to the city's town in which it's being hosted. This model has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars since it began.

Pull For Pride is a program of Strength For All, a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

Who is Tuscaloosa's Pull For Pride benefiting?

The Invisible Histories Project locates, preserves, researches, and creates for local communities an accessible collection of the rich and diverse history of LGBTQ life in the US South. Currently, IHP collects in Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia. IHP acts as an intermediary between the Queer community and various institutions like universities, museums, archives, and libraries in order to preserve Southern LGBTQ histories.

IHP focuses on four key elements related to advancing LGBTQ Southern History: community engagement; archiving, preservation, research, scholarship; education; and professional development & best practices
