AFO is proud to attend & table at this year's Columbus Community Pride! You can read up on the history of the event, donate, and get involved here.

From the organizers: 

"Columbus Community Pride will be on Saturday, October 8th from 12-7PM at Mayme Moore Park (835 Mt. Vernon Ave Columbus, OH). There will be workshops, performances, DJs, vendors, protest space, sensory area, and more. The festival is free and open to all. 

We are thrilled to introduce Columbus Community Pride 2022: The Future is Queer. The Future is Queer pays homage to lasting resiliency of queer, trans, and intersex people of color. Our elders have led countless movements toward liberation throughout history and for generations we have persevered against relentless state violence against our people. Mama Major Griffin-Gracy said “I’m still fucking here!” and The Future is Queer honors this. Our community will only continue to grow – our generations are becoming queerer, we are cultivating deeper connections with our ancestors, and our youth and elders are coming out at the same time. The Future is Queer declares that queer, trans, and intersex folks will exist and thrive in the future and into infinity."
