We Did It—Our First Dyke March Town Hall!
Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, spoke up, and showed out. The room was full, the energy was real, and it’s clear this community is ready. The feedback from our survey was 🔥—full of vision, clarity, and care.
Couldn’t make it? No worries.
We recorded it. Check it out.
The Dyke March is a protest, not a parade.
We take the streets because visibility is power, because dykes belong here, and because we refuse to be erased. It is a living tradition of queer resistance and a demand for justice.
The Long Beach Dyke March is a declaration of solidarity and a reminder that our fight is not over.
Why We March
We march because resistance is survival. The political climate is shifting against us—trans rights, marriage equality, reproductive justice, and voting rights are all under attack. Reactionary forces and extremist ideologies are creeping into California, emboldened by anti-woke rhetoric that seeks to silence and erase us. Cities like Downey have refused to fly the Pride flag, a small but telling sign of a larger movement to push LGBTQ+ people out of public life.
We march because we refuse to go back. Abortion rights have already been overturned. Trans lives are being targeted. Voter suppression is gaining ground. The attacks are strategic, relentless, and well-funded. We march to say: Not here. Not now. Not ever.
Marching is not just symbolic—it is an act of defiance and community power. It makes us visible. It strengthens our connections. We take the streets to show that we are still here, still fighting, and rooted in resistance!
SPREAD THE WORD
Share the date. Bring your friends. Show up. Print and post flyers in your community. Together, we rise. See you in the streets.
