Dear Colleague,
PRIDE EVENTS 2023 UPDATE – LONDON AND MANCHESTER
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.
UK Black Pride, please note the date has changed to Saturday 19th 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.
Manchester Pride, Saturday 26th August: The Manchester & North-West Regional Council has secured a place for RMT members in the Manchester Pride Parade. More details on this and the weekend of events from Friday 25th to Monday 28thcan be found here Home – Manchester Pride
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
