Christopher Street West (CSW), a 501(c)3 non-profit, organized the world’s first permitted parade advocating for gay rights on June 28, 1970, as a response to and in commemoration of the Stonewall Rebellion on Christopher Street in New York City the year prior. Fifty years later, we have built a rich history as an active voice for the LGBTQ+ community across the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. And of course, we continue to produce LA Pride, the second largest Pride celebration in the country. Your contribution to LA Pride will assist in fulfilling our mission to create safe and inclusive spaces for self-expression, inspire an authentic sense of activism in the continued fight for equality, and celebrate the unique heritage and diverse cultures of Los Angeles' LGBTQ+ community and its allies.
