Dear Colleague,
LGBT+ LONDON PRIDE EVENTS 2023
LGBT+ Pride events are opportunities for us to promote the union and our campaigns as well as to show support and solidarity for our LGBT+ members and the wider community. RMT will be looking to have a presence at the following events and I encourage all members to get involved and join in with their friends and family.
London Pride, Saturday 1 July: The union will have a place in the march which goes from Hyde Park Corner to Whitehall. Places need to be booked as wristbands must be allocated.
Trans Pride, Saturday 8 July: Meet at 1pm in Trafalgar Square, meeting point to be confirmed.
UK Black Pride, Sunday 20th August: As last year, the union will have a stall at the event which is in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford. Volunteers are sought to staff the stall during the day.
If you are able to join us for any of the above events, and/or if you have a Pride event in your local area that you would like advertised, please do contact Jess Webb, Equal Opportunities Officer, (j.webb@rmt.org.uk).
Yours sincerely,
Michael Lynch
General Secretary
