EPW PRIDE IS BACK!
Prince William County, Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, Virginia will once again have a local PRIDE event; this year on October 2, 2022. Located in the heart of Manassas at the Harris Pavilion, and hosted by Equality Prince William, this PRIDE event will not be successful without vendor tables and sponsorships from our local non-profits, businesses and citizens. Please consider becoming a PRIDE 2022 vendor or sponsor today! You can find all of the information you will need at https://www.equalityprincewilliam.org/pride-2022/
Equality Prince William is committed to recognizing the diversity of the Greater Prince William community. We don’t seek special privileges – only equality for all.
We believe that the LGBTQ+ community in Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, needs a voice. We hope that you support our efforts to make PWC a more welcoming, more diverse, more inclusive place to live and work.
The LGBTQ+ youth of PWC need to see that their county will support them and protect them. Please help us continue to fight for a better Prince William County, and support Pride 2022.
Equality Prince William is a non-partisan organization formed to address equal rights issues for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender individuals (LGBT) from a local Greater Prince William County perspective.
We are committed to maintaining an organization that reflects the diversity of the Greater Prince William community, and building relationships with business and civic groups, community leaders, and our elected leadership.
