ANNUAL ALL AGES PRIDE PARTY

From 2012 to 2019, Kristin produced an annual All Ages Pride Party in NYC — a space dedicated to LGBTQ young people, their families, allies, and friends. The event worked to prioritize collaborative, community-based engagement and to center queer and trans performers. Started as a response to the increasing number of 21+, alcohol-focused, corporate-driven events at many Pride celebrations across the country, it is believed to be the first Pride event in NYC that made a commitment to centering LGBTQ young people. This annual event was hosted on the Saturday of NYC Pride and was supported by grassroots organizations and artists committed to the liberation and radical empowerment of LGBTQ youth. In 2018 & 2019 All Ages Pride events — in NYC and expanded for the first time to Atlanta, GA — were funded by The Tegan & Sara Foundation.
