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. |
Message from Directors The annual event will be featuring Speakers, Artists and
music.
During this time when there seems to be challenges to
LGBTQAI+ rights, we feel it is more important than ever to
express ourselves and stand up for equality.
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 LGBTQAI+ 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. Please consider attending. Sincerely, with Pride, Charlette LeFevre and Philip Lipson She/Her, He/Him Directors, Capitol Hill Pride |

Shobit Agarwal – City
Council District 3 Candidate I am a first-generation gay immigrant from India. From working as a program manager for Microsoft to pursuing the dream as an actor to working retail. I have been an elected member of my condo HoA board for the past five years and have worked as the treasurer. I was also on the board for Trikone NW, a South Asian LGBT group. These roles enabled me to listen to my constituents, be empathetic to their problems and focus on getting results. |

Ry Armstrong – City Council District 3 Candidate “As your candidate for the open seat vacated by retiring Councilmember Sawant, I’m running for Seattle City Council because I believe in an agenda focused on establishing more affordable housing and shelter for those who are displaced, sustainable development of our city systems to protect the environment, and ensuring the safety of all our residents. In particular, I’m in favor of working to establish our region as a “right to shelter” city, helping our community become the first major city in America to be completely carbon-neutral, and establishing further mitigation and accountability within public safety to protect victims of serious crime, in particular those in the BIPOC, AAPI and Queer communities. If successful, I'd be the first openly Queer candidate to represent District 3 and first gender non-confirming human on the Council. Having served as Executive Director of a small LGBTQ-focused nonprofit during the pandemic, I have a background in governance serving on boards in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors. When coupled with a Masters of Arts in International Relations, I believe I can bring some follow-through to the City of Seattle. As a democratic socialist and progressive pragmatist, I would be honored to earn your vote and support throughout our campaign for action-based solutions.” |

Alex Hudson – City Council District 3 Candidate Alex was born in Redmond and raised on a small family farm in unincorporated east King County. A cancer survivor, she lives with her partner and is the legal guardian of an 8th grader in the public school system. Alex’s family are renters and live happily car-free. A first-generation college graduate, she worked her way through school at Western Washington University, where she founded the ACLU-WA student club, was the Director of the Associated Students Drug Information Center, and was named the ‘2008 Associated Student Employee of the Year’ and the ‘2008 ACLU-WA Youth Activist of the Year’.

Cathy Moore – City Council
District 5 Candidate My name is Cathy Moore and I am running for Seattle City Council District 5. I am a lifelong Seattleite, mother of three, spouse to a small business owner and so much more. I've followed in my mother's footsteps, having a lifelong career in public service. I served on the King County Superior Court as a judge, been on the Seattle Human Rights Commission, and also a public defender. I've fought for the rights of individuals, created progressive policy, and now want to bring my expertise upstream so I can impact our city as a whole to better the lives of everyone.

As
the twelve year 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, businesses
non-profits and artists in promoting the LGBTQAI cause whether it’s
through their art, business or personal expression.

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 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.
Charlette LeFevre and Philip Lipson Directors,
Capitol Hill Pride
END
PRESS 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. Charlette LeFevre and Philip Lipson Directors, Capitol Hill Pride |
