Join the MJCC and a dozen other Jewish organizations and synagogues from our community as we march together at Portland PRIDE.
Meet between 8 – 10 am on NW Everett between 8th and Broadway. Join us for bagels, nosh and coffee at 9:00 am. Swag will be available. See you Sunday!
The 2017 Portland PRIDE theme is “We ARE the Change!”
Pride is the tangible and VERY visible representation of LGBTQ progress and power. Whether we call it a march or a parade, when Portland’s downtown streets fill with tens of thousands of people claiming their space and celebrating who they are-who WE are-make no mistake, that is power and that is change. We ARE the Change!
