Join our San Francisco Bay Area group as we come together to celebrate the vibrant spirit of San Francisco Pride! Building and connecting with the queer community within the design, construction, engineering, and real estate industry is vital now more than ever. Pride serves as our annual reminder of the hard-fought battles and countless demonstrations that paved the way for the progress the queer community has achieved. March alongside us on and connect with fellow queer professionals and allies in the industry. This is an opportunity to strengthen our community bonds, find inspiration in our collective power, and, of course, have a fantastic time!
NOTE: specific assembly areas and stepping off times are still being worked through with the parade organizers. Register to receive updates from us directly via email.
