Good afternoon,


Young Women United will celebrate its annual Family Pride Celebration next weekend. We wanted to let all surrounding neighbors know what it the schedule in their neighbor next Saturday, June 8th at Morningside Park 299 Morningside SE off Lead and Coal from 8:30-4. There will be an increase in traffic by foot & vehicle, a PA system, and live music. We welcome you to this free event. More information listed below. 


Thank you





Join Young Women United for the 8th annual Family Pride Celebration!
The celebration is FREE, and features music, dancing, family-friendly activities, face painting, henna, games, and more. Folks are welcome to bring your own food or purchase something from local food trucks.
We are excited to have local musicians Lasotras, Racine Kreyol Cultural Arts , and Weather Band play for us this year!
Young Women United acknowledges people and families of all kinds. Come by yourself, with a friend, with a tia/o/x--whoever makes you feel like celebrating! Open to people of all ages, genders, and orientations.
Alcohol Free Event*
Organizations and community groups are welcome to table if you are able to provide a free game/activity. If your organization is interested in tabling, please send an inquiry to vtorres@youngwomenunited.org.
*Young Women United acknowledges that LGBTQ2S+ people have complex and varied histories with substance use, including alcohol. For some people in our communities, substance use has been accessible when other ways of addressing trauma in our lives have not. As the larger ABQ Pride is a space where some forms of substance use are permissible and prominent, we’d like Family Pride to be an alcohol-free space for our community members, especially for those in recovery. No judgment any which way, and we respect many ways that our communities celebrate themselves.

Please, share with everyone in your network!
