GGWash and the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) are PROUD of our great city and region – and ready to celebrate the full rainbow of people that make this place so truly great. Join us this Pride month because we’re here, we’re queer, and our survival is an act of joy, defiance, and solidarity. We’re marching in the Capital Pride Parade on the afternoon of Saturday, June 10. We invite you, your family, and friends to march with us! Queer justice is fundamental to the vision we have for our region and inclusive cities are better cities for everyone.
