Boston, MA — It is the chapter leadership for Boston DSA, the 2024 – 2025 Coordinating Committee. Happy Pride month!! Here are some upcoming events related to queer liberation.
DSA QUEERS FOR PALESTINE: FUNDRAISER & SOCIAL
To celebrate pride month, a group of LGBTQ+ DSA members are to host a party Saturday, June 8th from 8 pm to 1 am at the Democracy Center in Cambridge. There will be food and music.
The event will double as a fundraiser for Al Qaws, an organization working in support of Palestinian LGBTQ+ people, and the Boston chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement.
**You don’t need to be a DSA member to attend.** Please RSVP here so we know how much food to get.
Join us Saturday for community, to reject pinkwashing, and show your pride for Palestine.
JOIN BOSTON DSA AT DYKE MARCH
A tradition for nearly three decades, Boston Dyke March is a grassroots Pride event that believes in anti-capitalist, intersectional gender liberation. Boston DSA members excitedly plan to participate again this year for the Friday, June 7th 6:30 pm march.
If you’re a DSA member who either (1) plans to attend and wants to connect with other comrades marching and/or (2) wants to help the chapter table at the event: check out this thread in our Discord.

BOSTON PRIDE LIBERATION CONTINGENT
A contingent of queer/trans and pro-Palestine orgs committed to a Pride without pinkwashing plan to meet this Saturday, June 8th at 11:30 am. They will gather at the intersection of Berkeley St and Boylston St. See more on Instagram here.
This effort comes in the wake of Boston Pride for the People collaborating with the Israeli Consulate twice in the last year.
