The March begins with a Rally at Fol ey Square (Lafayette Street Worth Street\, Centre St\, New York\, NY 10013 ) and ends at Washington Square Park.

We will plan to arrive and sit on blankets in the shade.\n\nWhat is the Queer Liberation March?\nIn t he city of New York\, home to the Stonewall Inn\, a group of Queer activis ts decided the Parade in NYC had gone too far —  too far from the spiri t of the Stonewall Rebellion\, and miles away from achieving societal equi ty for queer and trans people.\n\nSo was born the Reclaim Pride Coalition. \n\nCommunity organizers\, activists\, and queers of conscience banded tog ether after years of seeing the annual NYC Pride March transformed into a 7\, then 9\, then 12 hour circus.  Overflowing with corporate floats and at the service of corporate money\, the Pride Parade had become a new symb ol of gay for pay. The imposition of barricades along the parade route sep arated the participants from its audience\, turning the Pride March into a n entertainment venue instead of a true expression of our cultural legacy.   The presence of a dozen police officers at every intersection of the Pa rade marked the collusion of the non-profit board and the very instance of state sponsored oppression.  \n\nThe Reclaim Pride Coalition stands by the tag\, “No corps\, no cops\, no bs!” \n\nRead more at: https://rec laimpridenyc.org/\n\nHow can I support the event?\nCome out and march with us in person meet us at Foley Square or meet us after the march at Washin gton Square Park.
