A Time to Celebrate

Pride Month is rooted in both celebration and advocacy, and Rhode Island has a proud and meaningful history in that movement. Rhode Island’s first Pride Parade took place 50 years ago this summer, in 1976, when a small group of courageous individuals marched in downtown Providence despite significant opposition. That history helped lay the foundation for the vibrant and nationally recognized Pride celebrations our state is known for today, including the Illuminated Night Parade in Providence.

A Time to Celebrate

June marks the celebration of Pride Month, a time when millions of people come together in support of the LGBTQIA+ community. 

As we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and honor their contributions and achievements, we must also recognize the battles still being fought for equality and justice. Now, more than ever, it is imperative that CCRI remains a safe, inclusive place where everyone feels that they belong – including and especially our trans and queer students, faculty, and staff.

Let us use June, our nation’s designated Pride Month, to celebrate the progress we’ve made while remaining passionately committed to the work that remains.
