We're Creating a Place Where Pride Conversations Continue

Every year, Pride celebrations bring together people from different countries, cultures, and communities. New friendships are formed, ideas are exchanged, and stories are shared.

Then the celebrations end. For many people, the conversations end as well.

That simple observation inspired the creation of the OUR PRIDE Global Hub.

The Global Hub is a year-round gathering place that brings together community networking, podcasts, books, films, Voices of Solidarity conversations, and live events, helping Pride communities stay connected long after WorldPride Amsterdam concludes.

We don’t see WorldPride as the finish line. We see it as the beginning of new relationships, new collaborations, and new opportunities to learn from one another.

In the weeks ahead, the Global Hub will host conversations with contributors to the upcoming anthology Steps to Liberation, feature podcasts and short films, introduce Pride organizations from around the world, and provide opportunities for people to connect through OUR PRIDE Connect. As the community grows, so will the conversations.

Whether you’re able to travel to Amsterdam or participating from halfway around the world, the Global Hub was created to ensure that everyone has a place in the conversation.

This is only the beginning, as we move towards Global Black Pride in Paris, France. We’ll have our official Steps to Liberation book release, in Kindle ebook, paperback and hardback.

And we’re planning an OUR PRIDE Shorts Fest: Global Black Pride Special Edition event and screenings, with films from Turkey, Uganda, Tanzania and other countries.

Join us as we build a community where Pride doesn’t end when the celebrations are over. It continues through shared stories, meaningful dialogue, and connections that span the globe.

Early Access is now open, and participation is free at: http://ourpride.org/hub

What conversations would you like to see continue after WorldPride? We’d love to hear your ideas in the comments.
