Stand with Standing Rock | American Civil Liberties Union In January 2016, with the aim of creating a direct route to transport crude oil from the North Dakota Bakken region through South Dakota, and Iowa and into Illinois, the Dakota Access Pipeline was unanimously approved for construction. The controversial pipeline could destroy ancestral burial grounds and poison the water supply for a sovereign nation, as well as millions of Americans downstream who rely on the Missouri River. All eyes were on Standing Rock as unwarranted armored vehicles rolled in. Law enforcement used automatic rifles, sound cannons, and concussion grenades against water protectors. An estimated 300 protesters were injured when police in riot gear used water cannons for hours in subfreezing weather to disperse them. National Guard troops, personnel and equipment pouring in from over 75 law enforcement agencies from around the country created a battlefield-like atmosphere at Standing Rock. Escalated police militarization was used to intimidate and silence water protectors’ free speech and their right to protest a pipeline which passes near sovereign territory. Thousands from across the globe joined in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to stop the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline. The protest has brought together at least 200 tribes that had not united for more than 150 years. In June 2025, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe appealed a federal judge’s dismissal of its latest lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, continuing its years-long fight to protect tribal sovereignty and water rights threatened by the Dakota Access Pipeline. The tribe argues the pipeline still lacks a valid federal easement to cross under Lake Oahe, a reservoir along the Missouri River that provides water for the reservation, and that keeping it open violates federal law. Since Standing Rock’s historic mobilization, states across the country have advanced or passed anti-protest laws that criminalize resistance to fossil fuel projects. These laws target Indigenous-led movements and environmental defenders who continue to speak out against the destruction of sacred lands and waters. As these restrictive laws spread, it is more important than ever for advocates to understand and defend their constitutional rights to free speech and peaceful assembly. Knowing your rights and standing together in solidarity remains essential to ensuring that the struggle for clean water, sacred lands, and tribal sovereignty is not silenced by fear or repression.

We are writing this message to apologize to participants in this year’s Queer Liberation March who reserved or intended to borrow one of our rented wheelchairs. It was unacceptable that the march began before wheelchair users had made it to the front, and we want to name clearly that this was ableist. We acknowledge the pain, frustration, and exclusion this caused, and we take full responsibility for it.

The failure to hold space at the front of the march for wheelchair users was due to a miscommunication among organizers. The delivery of the wheelchairs was significantly delayed by a car accident involving the van transporting them to St. Vincent’s Triangle Park. However, neither of these factors excuse the result. The impact is what matters, and the impact was exclusionary.

We are actively working to ensure this never happens again. We are reviewing and restructuring our communication and coordination processes, and we are already in conversation with organizers and community members to make these necessary changes. There is no pride without our disabled comrades, and we are committed to listening, and learning from this mistake, in a way that is meaningful and lasting.

We know that apologies are only the beginning. Our community deserves accountability, care, and action. We are listening, and we are committed to doing better, now and always. - Reclaim Pride Coalition Organizers

Everyone who reserved or intended to use a rented wheelchair at the 2025 Queer Liberation March, as well as all marchers requiring mobility aids, deserve an apology for the delay in the chairs' arrival and our failure to hold space for this important access to participation in the March.

No, Police Aren't Welcome at Pride — and for Good Reason "Police cannot peacock as allies for one day a year and not expect to be held accountable for their actions the rest of the time."

In this op-ed, we break down why police are often not welcome at Pride parades because of a history of violence against the LGBTQ community.

How Fayetteville, Arkansas, Celebrated Pride

y'all!! my little city's pride got written up in VOGUE!

www.vogue.com/slideshow/fa...

A crowd of approximately 20 people stand in Central Park holding signs and banners. In the foreground is a white banner with colorful block letters reading “NO PRIDE IN APARTHEID.” In the background is a blue banner with a hand painted Transexual Menace logo. Many people are wearing black Transexual Menace New York City T-shirts. Another sign reads “TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.” A few people are waving trans pride and progress pride flags.

Transexual Menaces were proud to march at today’s Queer Liberation March!

Thank you to @queermarch.bsky.social organizers and marshals, and all the incredible folks who came out!

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! This year's Queer Liberation March, our 7th Annual QLM, is the most important one yet! The current federal government is attacking TGNCNB and LGBTQIA2S communities, rights, and freedoms. It is attacking the ongoing struggle of Black, Brown, and Indigenous people against white supremacy.

It is bent on removing all rights of bodily autonomy from everyone except straight, cisgender men. It is determined to destroy the New Deal and Great Society safety nets for all Americans. It is ripping immigrant families apart. We must take a stand and build the biggest Queer Liberation March ever!

But to do that, we need our communities to step forward and help run the 2025 Queer Liberation March! Join the Team! Marshaling, Wheelchair Pushers, Medics, Art Build, Livestream Team, Food & Water, Chant Leaders, Access Van, Cleanup Crew, Supplies, Social Media, Carpooling

Please join our volunteer team if you have capacity!! ✊🏽🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
#QueerMarch is in need of volunteers to join us in making the 2025 QueerMarch happen as safely as possible for all of our most marginalized community members.

We're in court today challenging the Trump administration's censorship of medical research that mentions the LGBTQ community.

The government can't censor science that it doesn't like.

Art installation on National Mall shares trans voices of hope, defiance The 9,000-square foot “quilt” comes at a time when the Trump administration has sought to roll back transgender rights.

We kicked off World Pride this weekend by unveiling our historic Freedom to Be monument celebrating trans resistance and honoring our community's love and defiance.

The Trump administration can't take away our joy. 🏳️‍⚧️
