New resource on our site 🏳️⚧️

Heading to Pride across the state or other prides in general, and feeling nervous? Trans Solidarity Project put together a great beginner's guide 📖 on what to wear, what to pack, safety tips, and how to find trans-specific spaces in a crowd.

Find it under Resources on dakotaoutright.org.
You're not alone out there. 💛

Thanks for the new resource B.

✨We want to send out our heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who attended, vended, sponsored, and volunteered to help with the event. We are better together and we appreciate the support!✨

We know we still have a long road ahead of us but we hope we can show up for the community in a better way!

Our next steps are working on restructuring the board and operations. As well as addressing and responding to Janessa’s request.

Our hope is to repair and rebuild whenever we can.

We still need your help if you’re willing! We are posting a link to sign up for volunteers.

We still need board members and more diversity. We do not currently have any bipoc representation and we need more voices and perspectives at the table.

We hope you enjoyed the weekend and stay tuned for a new beginning.

Much Love!

An anonymous donor has generously offered to continue our celebration of Capital City Pride weekend. They donated 15 free tickets to RuPaul’s “Stop That Train,” and DoR is matching that donation as well. There are 30 free tickets to a 55-seat matinee. All you need to do is show up and declare your with Dakota outright. First come, first serve.

Let’s finish Pride weekend tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. at the Grand Theater with RuPaul’s “Stop That Train.”

This will be our last event. Wouldn’t it be fun to have an all q***r movie show? Grab a flag and let’s go!!

Sashay away!
