As an organization, Spokane Pride is committed to creating Pride experiences that are welcoming, engaging, and accessible to ALL.

Below are community agreements to guide our organization's relationships with volunteers, partnerships, and ourselves.

Harassment-Free Environment

We believe that every person involved with Spokane Pride deserves the right to a harassment-free environment. A harassment-free environment has no place for fear, abuse, intimidation, or violence to be used as means to control or illicit power. A harassment-free environment also calls for all stakeholders in Spokane Pride to approach the work and engaged participants with respect for their selves and their bodies.

Every participant or entity involved in Spokane Pride deserves the ability to interact free of sexual assault, domestic violence, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct.

Active participants under the age of 18 deserve the right to a Pride experience that is free of predatory behavior.

Environments that affirms
the identities of all people

We believe in the collective power of every LGBTQIA2S+ identity. We believe Trans lives matter. We believe Black Trans lives matter. We believe the experiences of people from the range of sexual and gender identities deserve the space to express themselves at Pride, be represented in Pride, and affirmed in their experience through Pride.

Anti-racist

We stand with our BIPOC siblings against racism in all forms. As a Pride organization, we are committed to celebrating all people, their identities and honoring their struggles. There is no room for hate in PRIDE!

Accessible to all

We believe Pride is a place and space where all bodies of all abilities deserve the right to be present and honored. We commit to developing Pride experiences that are:

1. Welcoming to all people of all abilities

2. Crafted in tandem with those who live with a range of abilities in hopes of a truly inclusive Pride.

A Healthy Community

We envision a healthy, thriving LGBTQIA2S+ community with the space to heal and belong. We believe Pride, and every program through Pride, is a pathway toward the well-being of our community. Therefore, we are committed to identifying resources; developing a wholistic programming approach; and creating spaces that encourage safe, intentional, and healthy engagement.

Inclusive Networking

Spokane Pride serves people from many intersections of identity, need, and ability. The need for our community members to interact with inclusive and affirming resources, organizations, businesses, people, thoughts, ideas, and the like, is crucial to movement of Pride. We are committed to creating access to information and involvement through intentional connection and interaction.
