Pride des Banlieues takes place this Saturday, June 22, 2024, on the occasion of Pride Month, which highlights LGBTQIA+ people and their initiatives. Ahead of the Marche des Fiertés on June 29, the Pride des Banlieues is the biggest militant demonstration in Seine-Saint-Denis calling for rights for LGBT+ people in working-class neighborhoods. The march will start at 1pm from the La Courneuve - Aubervilliers RER station, and this year will be calling for an end to repressive policies and against the rise of the far right.
Last year's Pride des Banlieues brought together nearly 15,000 people, and led to a bill to reduce inequalities in access to PMA. This year, the militant event is taking to the streets again, to make the voices of working-class neighborhoods heard and their representation in the public arena. The issue of access to housing and emergency accommodation will also be central, as LGBTQI+ people are still over-represented among the homeless.
After the march, it's off to a wild and festive evening at the Point Fort d'Aubervilliers, until midnight, free of charge for queer people from working-class neighborhoods and their allies, with a musical program featuring dozens of artists. This year, an after-party will be held at À la folie, at La Villette, until the end of the night!
