¡Adelante tiene Pride!

At Adelante Mujeres, we pride ourselves on being a lantern of hope for Latine women and their families in Washington County. This year, we took our commitment to inclusivity and solidarity further by participating in the Portland Pride Parade! This action reflects our unwavering support and celebration of our LGBTQ+ Latine immigrant community members.

Why We Walked in Pride

To us, walking in Pride is more than be part of a parade. It represents the values that are at the very foundation of Adelante Mujeres. We believe that everyone should feel seen and heard, and be celebrated for who they are. By joining the Pride parade, we showed that we stand in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ Latine community, acknowledging their struggles, celebrating their identities, and advocating for their rights.

¡Adelante tiene Pride!

As we marched together, the energy and enthusiasm were evident. It was a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of our community. We carried banners, wore our Pride colors con orgullo, and walked with heads held high, knowing we were making a statement of love, acceptance, and unity.

¡Adelante tiene Pride! This is exactly how we feel and this phrase resonates with us so well. We celebrate our LGBTQ+ Latine community. We recognize their courage, honor them for all they have contributed and their unwavering spirit—together we are más fuertes.

Moving Forward

Our participation in Pride is just the beginning. At Adelante Mujeres, we are committed to continuing our efforts to support and uplift our LGBTQ+ community members. Through our ongoing programs, educational initiatives, and community events, we will keep fostering an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and empowered.

Muchas gracias to everyone who joined us in this celebration. Your presence and support means the world to us. Together, let’s continue to walk forward with Pride, embracing our diversity and building a brighter, more inclusive future for all. Sigamos Adelante!
