WE RISE TOGETHER
Announcing our 2026 Pride Northshore Theme
Queer Northshore is proud to announce the theme for our 2026 Pride celebration: We Rise Together.
Selected by a vote of our community, this year’s theme speaks to both resilience and responsibility. In a moment when authoritarian oppression threatens the safety, dignity, and freedom of so many, we choose to rise. Not in isolation. Not in silence. But together, with courage, clarity, and community at the center.
We Rise Together is a call to action and a promise. It means standing shoulder to shoulder with all who are oppressed. We stand with the immigrants who live among us. We stand for a future rooted in justice, safety, and belonging. We stand for a world where the right to exist freely and peacefully is fundamental, not conditional.
“We Rise Together is the perfect theme for this moment for our community, our organization, and our country. We will not hide or shrink ourselves. We will rise to meet the challenge, and we won’t leave anyone behind.”
Join us as we turn this message into movement at the 2026 Pride Parade and Block Party in Mandeville on Saturday, May 30.
This Pride, we rise in joy.
We rise in solidarity.
We rise in defiance of fear.
And most importantly, we rise together. ✊🏳️🌈
