Today we celebrate the birth of Marsha P. Johnson and honor her legacy! 💖

Marsha P. Johnson was a Black transgender woman and activist and was a central figure in the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, which ignited the LGBTQ rights movement. Born in 1945 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Johnson moved to New York City’s Greenwich Village at age 17, where she found community among other LGBTQ individuals. Known for her vibrant personality, distinctive flower crowns, and colorful sense of style, Johnson became a beloved figure within the LGBTQ community and an enduring symbol of resistance against injustice.

Along with Sylvia Rivera, a Latina transgender activist, Johnson co-founded the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) in 1970, an organization dedicated to providing housing and support for homeless LGBTQ youth. STAR became one of the first LGBTQ organizations in the U.S. to focus specifically on transgender issues. It pioneered a legacy of advocacy for transgender and gender-nonconforming people who were often overlooked by mainstream gay rights organizations.

The Pride Centre will not be marching in the Pride Parade this Saturday, August 22, 2026.

The Pride Centre's resources and services are overwhelmingly accessed by members of our community who have intersecting marginalized identities. We do not believe enough time or meaningful engagement was dedicated to working with the communities most impacted by systemic oppression. This failure to properly engage has resulted in decisions being made without sufficient input from these communities.

We do not endorse Pride Fest, however, we do stand in solidarity with our partners and kin at Edmonton 2 Spirit Society, who will be smudging the parade route, as well as the Elder who will be offering the opening prayer.

May we center each other’s humanity as we navigate the conversations we need to have to move forward.

In solidarity with all our community, the organizations and businesses that have rightfully pulled out (and continue to) pull out of PrideFest.
