NYC Pride 2024: Reflect. Empower. Unite.

Celebrating its 40th year, Heritage of Pride|NYC Pride announces our official theme for 2024, “Reflect. Empower. Unite.” as it kicks off this year’s programming. The theme was selected to highlight the importance of the NYC Pride March as the intersection for Queer liberation and joy. Drawing upon the activist history that ignited the movement for LGBTQIA+ rights, the theme encourages individuals, advocates, community leaders and allies to reflect on the challenges they have overcome together and empowers them to take action in shaping our collective future. At a time of division in our country and the world, this year’s theme calls for unity within and throughout the LGBTQIA+ community and is a call to action for ALL allies, especially those in government and the private sector, to demonstrate their alliance with the community-at-large at this critical time in our nation's history.
