Message from Directors
Thank you everybody for a wonderful Capitol Hill Pride!

We are proud to host a family friendly free event and feature a diversity of artists including youth, and hope to highlight and support more developing local artists by providing a community stage and a platform.

We are realizing our strength is not how large we are but our connections and our support of each other in providing a safe space for LGBTQ+ community all year long as well as remembering Stonewall and continuing the fight for equality. Your words and presence have an impact on this generation no matter how small and can reverberate into the next generations.


Sincerely, with Pride,
Charlette and Philip
Directors, Capitol Hill Pride

Land Acknowledgment

We would like to acknowledge that we are on the land of the Sdoh-doh-hohbsh people who have stewarded this land for generations and the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present and honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe. We are honored and humbled to be afforded the opportunity to serve our community in this space.




We stand proud in the fact we will never charge admission or ask for donations
based on anyone's skin color.

Dr. King once said he had a dream that we would live in a nation where a person should
not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. We are almost there.

The thirteenth year of this annual event has grown to become one of the Northwest’s largest Pride events and Capitol Hill’s largest, we are dedicated to creating awareness of the LGBTQAI community in what is recognized as a Constitutionally protected annual event for Pride weekend.
We also have confidence in the many supporting restaurants, businesse
s non-profits and artists in promoting the LGBTQAI cause whether it’s through their art, business or personal expression.

Stonewall, Never Forget

Stonewall Riots, June 28, 1969

 Photo from The New York Daily News, Sunday, June 29, 1969

The Stonewall riots were a historical turning point in LGBT rights. Often compared to the civil rights turning point of Rosa Parks, the riots took place on June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in New York City when gays and youth stood up against harassing police raids and arrests for being gay which were common at the time.

Legend has it that the raid was started by a simple penny being thrown at a police officer.

Today, Pride marches and parades are held around the world at the end of June commemorating the anniversary of the riots. Communities such as Capitol Hill in Seattle have become neighborhoods where bars, restaurants and businesses have become safe places for gays and lesbians to be open about their sexual orientation without fear of being arrested or harassed.

In modern times ongoing inequality, basic human rights and international persecution underlines the need for persons and businesses to demonstrate their support for the LGBT community and today what has become known as Pride.

The healing centric  R/B soulful  music you hear will send you in a trends of relaxation and of relief, a feeling of some weight being lifted off your shoulders. The sound is like no other, you won't be able to fully compare to others...
Since middle School she has always had a passion for music but it wasn't till the end of 2016 that she started pursing music.
It wasn't until the summer of 2020 that she finally decided to pursue her music dream. Music is therapeutic, it wasn't till the summer as the protesting continued that a fellow brother from the community had mentioned "if music can heal you imagine the others that can heal  from that same properties, imagine others that can feel that same healing properties you do this with such a passion". That's summer being involved with protesting and seeing and witnessing all the different type of hurt, it has inspired her to be involved with the community to Find a way to help out and to heal the people around her. 
From artist like Erykah Badu, Jill Scott maybe even Floetry the vibe she was inspired off of, it was Dej Loaf who inspired Yellow to step out of her box.

Chamel

Since forming in 2017, Marshall Law Band (MLB), has grown from an unknown funk-hop six-piece to a lauded community collective to the house band of the Seattle Black Live Matter movement. The group's music focuses on individual empowerment and positive community change through the filter of hard-hitting hip-hop vocals laid over funk instrumentation.

Marshall Law Band is made up of Marshall, Lead singer and songwriter, Big Pink aka Evan Robertson – Bass, The Hospitality aka Matt – Drums, Shred God aka Josh Richins - Guitar and vocals, Mercy Lewis aka Zack Olson - Keys and vocals, Metal Marty aka Marty Thordson – Saxophone.

It was one fateful decision in June of 2020 that truly began the legacy of MLB — the decision to pull up on the streets of the Seattle George Floyd protests and start playing. Setting up a makeshift stage one block from the protest line, on Pine St. in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, MLB became the voice of the revolution, playing hour after hour, day after day, through tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bangs. After receiving nationwide press coverage through outlets like CNN and Fox News, MLB went into the studio with legendary grunge producer Jack Endino to create their debut LP, 12th & Pine, a concept album that details their experience playing through the protests.

The album is now under consideration for a Pulitzer Prize in Music - winners to be announced June 11, 2021.

“It’s a complete honor to join the ranks of Wynton Marsalis and Kendrick Lamar in being considered for this most prestigious award,” said Marshall Hugh. “It’s a testament to Marshall Law Band’s unflinching commitment to spread love to all people of the world.”

PRESS RELEASE

6/18/2021


Capitol Hill Pride stands firm in its commitment to equality and will not support discrimination.

Capitol Hill Pride cannot and will not be pressured into supporting in any manner any Pride event that is charging admission based on the color of a person’s skin. 

Capitol Hill Pride has worked with many LGBTQAI organizations over the years and our policy is to be inclusive, supportive and not divisive.  

We consider any discriminatory admissions policy a violation of the Equality Act.
Racial equality and unity does not come about by racial division. We feel strongly that elected representatives take an oath to represent everyone and not just one segment of the community or political party.

We will never charge admission over the color of a person's skin.

Capitol Hill Pride continues to work with ground level organizations to promote equality and social justice with community and stand proud in those values and we should not be pressured, attacked or defamed for our commitment.

PRESS RELEASE


PRESS RELEASE
5/21/2021
For immediate release

Capitol Hill Pride Bans Police from 2021 March & Rally and asks Chief to fire the Six SPD Officers who traveled to Washington DC.

Capitol Hill Pride is announcing a ban of police at the upcoming Capitol Hill March & Rally to be held Pride weekend Sat. & Sun. June 26-27, 2021 at Cal Anderson Park.

To the safety and courtesy of the LGBTQ and diversity community as well as the general public our responsibility is to present a safe event and is dedicated to creating an atmosphere free of fear or harm for members of the community.  As such, Capitol Hill Pride is announcing a ban of police at the event and will continue to request police to stay at the perimeters.

With the current Seattle lawsuits of police misconduct using blast balls and tear gas against peaceful protestors, the six names of the SPD who visited Washington DC Jan. 6th still to be released and their extent of action in the Capitol Insurrection, along with ongoing concerns of white supremacy views within police departments, Capitol Hill Pride does not have confidence at this time in Seattle’s police ability to protect the public and to protect the public’s right to protest.

Capitol Hill Pride agrees with and applauds New York Pride’s ban of police presence until 2025 and stands with other social justice organizations to ban a police presence and advocate police reform.

In line with New York Pride, Capitol Hill Pride also believes the sense of safety that law enforcement is meant to provide can instead be threatening, and at times dangerous, to those in our community who are most often targeted with excessive force and/or without reason. We challenge Seattle Police to acknowledge their harmful actions, to correct their conduct, policies and improve their efforts moving forward.

As such, Capitol Hill Pride is also asking Interim Seattle Police Chief Adrian to fire the six officers who attended Washington DC during the time of the Capitol Insurrection Jan. 6th as we feel city employees knowingly traveling in support of people who are attempting an insurrection or any disruption of a democratic process even if their participation was as a passive observer, should be an offense that merits termination.

Capitol Hill Pride for the event instead hopes to work closer with the fire department, have a medic unit on site and host a safe and welcoming event.

Capitol Hill Pride will be continuing to uplift diversity organizations, youth groups and artists this year for 2021.
