As Pride organizers, racism and oppression is an issue we have to deal with regularly. The question is, how do we identify this, and what are the potential solutions? Additionally, many may still be unclear about what constitutes racism, unconscious bias, prejudice, micro-aggression, oppression, colorism, colonialism, and how these are all interconnected. The ability to understand and learn about these will help us become inclusive leaders while creating a safer space for Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities. Racial justice issues are fundamental to InterPride, and we have been working very hard to ensure we are communicating this as a priority. With this in mind, we are launched our first ever Racism & Oppression Awareness Program (ROAP) in November 2020. Visit interpride.org to learn more Follow us @interpride
