Free rapid test for HIV by HAF in the van outside. Light refreshments, food, wine, Mdv cupCakes, community resource information, and after-party at Z'Novia, with complimentary drink.

We will honor our LGBTQ activists, artists, and allies, alive and deceased, who have worked tirelessly to end violence and stigma against LGBTQ people in the Bronx, who challenge discrimination and raise consciousness. These unsung heroes have stood up for our borough, and now it is our turn to honor their valiant efforts, and to remember that the struggle for equality continues. We will send our message and we will show our pride.

All of you, LGBTQ and allies, you know who has made a difference and fought for our community. Come out and show your pride.
