A colorful graphic with a red-to-purple rainbow gradient background that reads in large off white letters: “PRIDE BEGAN AS A RIOT” and “KEEP ORGANIZING.” Below the text is a large, diverse in age and gender group of people smiling and posing together, many holding Pride and Trans flags. A purple banner at the bottom displays the text “@MIDMODSA” in white

Pride began as a riot. Let's not forget that.

While June is full of rainbow washing, we remember that the fight for queer liberation is more than changed profile pictures and empty promises. It's about showing up and organizing when it matters.

Join DSA.

Many hold protest signs, including one that reads “MU CAN’T SILENCE US” and another that says “MELT ICE.” The sky is partly cloudy, and the moment captures a strong sense of unity and resistance.
