</div>
<div>NO COPS NO CORPORATIONS GRASSROOTS PRIDE ️‍⚧️️‍
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>LGBTQIA2S+ communities are under threat from all sides, struggles are uniting, and tensions are rising… AND SO ARE WE!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Join us June 27th and 28th 2026 in the WEST BOTTOMS for two hot days of radical queer love and joy. Featuring vendors, music, drag performances, parades and more. All made possible by you!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kansas City Peoples Pride is a self-organized queer festival that truly represents the community. We have relied on the vast generosity of the community to support this festival, and this year we ask that you continue that support!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We aren’t funded by corporations, governments, or rich donors - we oppose the structures that keep them all in power. We have always been funded by the people and we will always be for the people. Over 77% of our budget last year went directly to the queer musicians, artists, drag performers, volunteers, and businesses that made people’s pride happen (and it could be closer to 100% if anyone knows a queer porta-potty company ;)) so your donation doesn’t just fund a party, it helps pay a local queer person’s bills!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Also, People’s Pride is a FREE pride festival because of your support - help fund venues, support queer artists, musicians, and vendors, and make the event fully accessible to all, no matter status!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Line ups are forthcoming so be sure to watch for updates on our Instagram @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/peoplespridekc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">peoplespridekc</a>. If you’d like to be a vendor, participate, or join us in further planning this year's festival reach out at peoplespridekc at the ol' gmail (they won't let us put the actual address on gfm).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We hope you’re ready to dance, sing, laugh, and celebrate Radical Queer Joy to advance our collective survival.
</div>

<div>In Solidarity and Love,

<div>PEOPLES PRIDE: MANIFESTO!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>People’s Pride Kansas City was started out of a desire to celebrate queer community without the presence of cops or corporations co-opting our movement. As activists and organizers we know that the entrenched power structures that rule our world will never give us our rights. As queer people, we have always taken our rights, by force, by working together, and by rejecting the systems that seek to control and exploit us. Queer Pride as an event began as a protest and celebration after the Stonewall Riots in 1969, where a group of queer, trans people, predominately black and brown skinned, many of whom were poor, worked as sex workers, struggled with housing insecurity, collectively stood up to police oppression and fought back against the systemic violence that they experienced. Though we have made some progress in the decades since, we can see clearly how anti-queer forces in our world remain powerful and are still determined to take our rights away. We must stand against our oppression, and the oppression of all people around the world. Queer Pride as an event must be a part of this struggle or it risks becoming part of the problem. People’s Pride is a radical, grassroots, DIY celebration of queer resilience, with no cops and no corporations.

<div>NO COPS!
</div>
<div>Queer Pride as a tradition began with a riot against police brutality against the community. The cops have always been one arm of enforcement of anti-gay and anti-trans laws and extralegal morality, using violence and coercion to suppress and oppress us. They also act brutally against black, brown, migrant, homeless, poor, disabled, neurodivergent and otherwise marginalized communities. The police have no place at pride, period. Carceral ideas of justice also have no place at pride; we ask that everyone confront the cop in their own heads and commit to creating radical, transformative space for healing. People’s Pride stands against oppression to create policeless spaces in which we can all thrive without judgement!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>NO CORPORATIONS!
</div>
<div>Queer Pride is what we feel when we come together to defend our rights and create a better world. Pride is not an ad campaign or brand identity that can be sold to us in cheap plastic. Corporations cannot represent community while they destroy the world and consolidate wealth and power, bleeding the people dry for the benefit of the ultra-wealthy. Corporations are anti-democratic oligarchies that manipulate social trends for profit. They have hurt queer people much more than they could ever possibly help us and will always choose profits over our rights and our lives. Making rainbows in sweatshops does not make them our allies; corporations have no place at pride! People’s Pride creates space for local, independent, ethical, queer owned businesses, artists, and organizations. We believe in community, acting locally, and supporting the people who make things.

</div>
<div>FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE!
</div>
<div>People’s Pride is an ever changing, undefined, open-to-interpretation concept. WE DO NOT OWN PEOPLES PRIDE. If you want to be a part of this, you can reach out to the organizers or make your own version! People’s Pride is FOR and BY the queer community.
