It's about centering who we are and what we need to feel empowered, joyful and heard,' the organizers said about the event this Saturday at Jimi Hendrix Park. 'TAKING BACK PRIDE is about lifting the voices, narratives, and contributions of Black queer and trans voices. The event is not associated with Seattle Pride, which will be hosting all of their events virtually this year, a spokesperson for Seattle Pride told Newsweek. The Trans Women of Color Solidarity Network is organizing the event in collaboration with Queer the Land. 'White people and their accomplices' will have to pay anywhere from $10 to $50 at the TAKING BACK PRIDE event, according to the event's webpage.
A Pride event in Seattle will charge white people a 'reparations fee' to attend, organizers said.
