Learn More About PFLAG National
Our LGBTQ+ community created Pride to advocate for equal rights and self expression in a time of discrimination and hate. PFLAG Oakland/East Bay joins this community in advocacy as well as celebration not only every June, but year-round. We welcome you to join us as we continue in Leading With Love to create a caring, just, and affirming world for our LGBTQ+ community and their loved ones through education, support, and advocacy.
Celebrate 40 Years Strong With Us!
Join us Thursday, September 18th to celebrate four decades of parents and allies showing up in the East Bay to provide support, education, and community for our LGBTQ+ loved ones and each other.
This memorable evening will feature special guests, including Alexis Madrigal, co-host of KQED Forum; an inspiring and compelling program; live music by the Berkeley High School Jazz Band; tasty bites and drinks, and dancing!
To mark our anniversary, we are also asking for donations to support our chapter and three sibling LGBTQ+ organizations at a time of unprecedented need. Please join us in seizing this moment to ignite the joy and purpose of our PFLAG community!
