Join Caribbean Equality Project and Unlocal for an LGBTQ+ immigrant-focused Community Safety workshop to learn about your rights when interacting with ICE and federal law enforcement, strategies for preparedness, and key immigration policy updates.

The current immigration crisis, ongoing ICE raids, and escalating political tensions are deepening these conditions, turning already complex challenges into even more urgent ones. In these moments of crisis, those who are low-income, gender-diverse, navigating health issues, or unhoused bear the harshest impacts, as entrenched inequities often determine who receives support &mdash; and who is left behind. But we at Caribbean Equality Project believe that knowledge is power, and our community deserves safety, dignity, and the ability to live healthy lives without fear of violence or threats of deportation. This free event is open to all, but registration is required. For questions, contact Executive Director, Mohamed Q. Amin, at Mohamed@CaribbeanEqualityProject.org.

Your support helps to offset the cost of producing a fabulous Big Truck. NYC Pride has enacted a wristband requirement for ALL marchers. At check-in, every registered Big Truck marcher will be issued a wristband. In a nation where our rights and lives are still under threat, even in places like New York, this theme underscores our commitment to advocacy and resistance. We aim to promote a transformative vision for NYC—one that embraces love, justice, and liberation while honoring our Afro- and Indo-Caribbean cultural backgrounds and ancestry. We are privileged to uphold the 27-year tradition of the Big Truck, continuing to celebrate the enduring legacy of Colin Robinson. Wear cultural or carnival-inspired apparel, your country colors, or come as you are. Let’s proudly celebrate a decade of serving and protecting Caribbean LGBTQ+ New Yorkers. Don’t forget your flags!
