Provo Pride Motorcade event, Sept. 26

Provo Pride and Project Rainbow invite you and your family to participate in the first Provo Pride Motorcade.

The event will provide even more visibility to the local LGBTQ+ community than a festival would, according to their Facebook event page.

MOTORCADE

Drive along University Avenue in Provo between Cougar Boulevard and 400 South, at your leisure between 2–4 p.m. You can go either direction or loop back and do it again. Please obey all traffic laws and watch carefully for pedestrians. You can decorate your car to show your pride, or stop by our Welcome Booth located at Rugged Grounds, 156 W. 500 South, Provo, and they will decorate it for you.

PRIDE GUARD

Line up on the sidewalk on both sides of University Avenue in Provo between

Cougar Boulevard and 400 South. Bring your pride flag, or use one provided by Project Rainbow. Check-in with a Block Captain to borrow a flag; they will be stationed next to each UVX stop along the route.

The Block Captains will be available to answer questions and encourage you to leave extra distance between each group or individual. Please help us keep each other safe by following distancing guidelines, wearing a mask, and keeping your hands clean.

Vote Equality: MGUW

Join the Utah ERA Coalition, Equality Utah, and the League of Women Voters of Utah for Vote Equality: Minding the Gaps for Utah Women on Oct. 16, noon- 1:30 p.m. on the Utah State Capitol steps, Salt Lake City.

Headline speaker Jeanetta Williams of the NAACP will describe existing barriers to voting and the still pressing need for equity under the law for Utah women. The pivotal question: When we leave behind the “Year of the Women,” how will we continue the fight for fairness and move the needle for Utah Women in 2021?

Ermiya Fanaeian, newly appointed director of Diversity and Inclusion for the University of Utah’s ASUU, will speak to inclusive feminism. How do we remedy the mistakes of the past and ensure that all women are part of this important move for Constitutional equality?

Watch for details about additional speakers, musical guests, and family-friendly celebrations. Also, kids may customize an equality flag starting at 11:30 a.m.

Then dance your way into the election, support equality candidates, and celebrate great gains for women while pushing forward for better.

Masks available and required. Social distancing a must. ‘VOTE EQUALITY’ car magnets also available.
