Rhode Island Pride

Tonight’s Pride Flag🏳️‍🌈 Raising at Providence City Hall was a powerful reminder of what Pride is all about: unity, visibility, support, remembrance, and celebration. 🎉
Thank you to Mayor Brett P. Smiley, the Providence City Council, Joe Wilson Jr., Director of the City of Providence Department of Art, Culture and Tourism, and all of the community leaders, partners, advocates, and supporters who came together for this special moment.
As Rhode Island Pride celebrates its 50th Anniversary, we remember where we have been, honor those who helped bring us here, and continue moving forward together.
Pride is more than one day, one flag, or one event. Pride is community. Pride is courage. Pride is showing up for each other.
We are PROUD. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️
We are UNITED. 🤝
WE ARE THE PEOPLE. ✊

As we continue through Pride Month, another important flag raising is happening TOMORROW in Cranston. 🏳️‍🌈
We encourage everyone to show their support for the LGBTQIA+ community as we come together to celebrate inclusion, equality, dignity, and the freedom to be who we are and love who we love.
Thank you to the City of Cranston, Mayor Kenneth J. Hopkins, the Cranston City Council, community leaders, residents, and everyone who continues to stand for respect, safety, visibility, and belonging for all.
We are PROUD.
We are UNITED.
WE ARE THE PEOPLE.
