March with Metro Justice at the Rochester Pride Parade! This year, we'll be marching with our Rochester for Energy Democracy (RED) and Rochester for NY Health Campaigns. The RED campaign will triumphantly return as the much celebrated Public Power Rangers!
Our RED Campaign is a grassroots movement to transform foreign-owned RG&E into a not-for-profit public utility. A locally-controlled utility will reduce bills and invest RGE's $107 million in yearly profits into providing better customer service, more local union jobs, and creating a renewable energy transition accessible to all.
Rochester for NY Health is the local chapter of the Campaign for NY Health: a statewide coalition fighting to win the NY Health Act for public, universal, and affordable healthcare for all New Yorkers.
Debt on expensive utility bills is a leading cause of predatory loans and housing instability that also exacerbates homelessness in the queer community. Skyrocketing healthcare costs also prevent queer people from accessing healthcare that is critical to their mental and physical wellbeing. Queer movements have always been at the forefront of envisioning new futures that are better for everyone, and we continue that practice!
Join us to celebrate our LGBTQUIA+ community, and continue the fight for liberation by taking our energy and healthcare back from predatory and parasitic profiteers! We'll flyer the crowd to build our movements!
We'll line up for the Pride Parade at 1030 AM, on Science Parkway (see image for new route). Parade kickoff at 11, more general info here. Lineup number is 172!
Let's take the power back!
