The Atlanta Pride Committee
About The Atlanta Pride Committee
For over fifty years, the Atlanta Pride Committee has served as Georgia's oldest nonprofit advocate and resource for the LGBTQ+ community, establishing deep roots in Atlanta, GA and throughout the Southeastern United States. This grassroots organization was founded on a mission to advance unity, visibility, and wellness among persons with diverse gender and sexual identities through meaningful cultural, social, political, and educational engagement. The committee envisions a world where LGBTQ+ individuals are united, visible, and equal, working tirelessly to transform this vision into reality through community-centered programming and advocacy work. What distinguishes the Atlanta Pride Committee is its unwavering commitment to honoring the rich history of LGBTQ+ activism while building toward a more inclusive future. The organization values social justice, cultural celebration, self-esteem building, historical preservation, and holistic health and wellness for all community members. By relying on community involvement and volunteer participation, the Atlanta Pride Committee maintains its authentic grassroots character while delivering impactful services. Whether through the iconic annual Pride Festival and Parade or year-round educational initiatives and philanthropic programs, the committee continues to strengthen bonds within Atlanta's diverse LGBTQ+ community and serve as a beacon for gender and sexually diverse individuals across the South.
