FREEDOM TO BUILD

Global Black Pride March

In Paris for Freedom

Decades of progress toward dignity and equality for Black LGBTQ+ people are still under attack. From criminalization to censorship, from economic exclusion to violence—our lives and our futures demand action. We refuse to be erased. We gather in Paris to stand up, speak out, and move together toward a world where Black queer and trans people are safe, seen, and free.

Join thousands of community members, allies, and activists as we march through the heart of Paris and rally with artists, advocates, and global leaders. We will honor those who paved the way and call the world forward—from policy to culture, from health to economic justice—because Black LGBTQ+ liberation is global liberation.

Take action.
Take a stand.
