Happy Pride from BAAITS

Happy Pride from your BAAITS Family

We know Pride is more than a month, it's a daily journey. We're grateful for the opportunity to serve you throughout the year not only with our annual powwow, but by partnering with local and nationwide events that celebrate Queer BIPOC folx. As always, we honor their activism, bravery and courage. It is our commitment to you that we continue offering culturally relevant activities for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals of Native American ancestry, and their families and friends, for many years to come. Happy Pride!

The San Francisco Pride Parade is Sunday, June 26, and BAAITS is once again celebrating as a marching contingent. If you're in the area, we could use your help: 1- We need Two-Spirit folx who wish to join us riding on the float! 2- We need volunteers as contingent monitors to walk alongside the float. (You must watch the video below and agree to the duties being asked of you.) If interested in joining or volunteering, please email Jim Eagle.
