Intergenerational Dialogue
Join the LGBTQ+ Caucus and the Youth Caucus for an open and free-wheeling Intergenerational Dialogue. Panelists from both caucuses will talk about their histories--of coming out, of oppression, of struggle--and we'll compare notes about life for LGBTQ+ people in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and in the new millennium. We'll also discuss how the issues confronting our community and the language we use to describe ourselves and our lives have changed and evolved over time.

Pride Month Teach-IN
Our Pride Month Teach-In will focus on a wide range of political issues important to the LGBTQ+ community, with several special guests. Learn about the politics of "Don't Say Gay" in Florida, what the destitution of Roe will mean for our community, strategies for responding to culture war attacks on the community, and much much more.
Amsterdam CanalPride 2022
Now more than ever, with states passing "Don't Say Gay" laws, criminalizing parents for helping their trans children, and attacking the rights and lives of the members of our community--not to mention the destruction of the right to privacy via the Supreme Court's attack on Roe v Wade, which will have implications for our community (potential consequences include the decriminalization of homosexuality and the elimination of marriage equality, both predicated on the right to privacy established in Griswold and Roe)--it is time for us to come together, show our pride and our strength as a community, and stand up for our rights. We need to get out the vote of every American--gay and straight, cis and trans, black, brown, white and every color of the rainbow in-between.
That's why DA-Netherlands and the DA Global LGBTQ+ Caucus is inviting you to join us in Amsterdam for CanalPride the weekend of August 5-7.
We have put together an absolutely killer FUN'raiser for the entire weekend !
We have a BOAT IN THE PARADE !!
We have Cocktail Receptions !!
We have Special Guests !!
We have Special Tours, on foot, bike and boat !!
For a richer and more robust description of what to expect and of all the events, please visit THIS SITE.
And most of all, we have the opportunity to show our support in front of a half-million people gathered along the canals of Amsterdam on this amazing day. Surely some of them are going to be American, and they need to know how important it is to vote. And the world press will be there too.
This is an important political manifestation for us, but let's face it, it's also going to be a lot of fun.
There are many ways you can help support us, even if you cannot be there. Take advantage of the Early Bird Special Prices described below. All donations will support Democrats Abroad's efforts to Get Out The Vote and win the elections in November.
Book your tickets NOW!
This is going to sell out, and It's gonna be awesome !

Climate Cafe - June
June is LGBTQ (Gay) Pride Month. Pride Month commemorates years of struggle for civil rights and the ongoing pursuit of equal justice under the law for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community and the accomplishments of LGBTQ individuals.
Our cafe topic this month is Queer Ecology. Queer ecology disrupts prevailing heterosexist understandings of gender, sexuality, and nature. Queer Ecologies stands as a powerful corrective to views that equate "natural" with "straight" while "queer" is held to be against nature.
We hope you will join us for an interesting and enlightening discussion.

Frankfurt CSD/Pride 2022
June is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBTQ) Pride Month to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots and work to achieve equal justice and equal opportunity for the LGBTQ community. In June of 1969, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City staged an uprising to resist the police harassment, and persecution LGBT Americans were commonly subjected to. This uprising marks the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against LGBT Americans. 2022 marks the 53rd anniversary of the June 1969 Stonewall Riots. This year is also the 30th Anniversary of Christopher Street Day (CSD) Frankfurt.
The Frankfurt Chapter and the Wiesbaden-Mainz Chapter will be setting up an information stand for the duration of the event and walking in the CSD Parade on Saturday to show our support.
Come help us find Americans living overseas and get them to help us with next year's voting efforts! We'll need help on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday times to be determined. We will also need people to walk in the parade.
Further details will follow. Please RSVP to the event if you’re interested in attending, and you will receive the link to the signup sheet.
Join Democrats Abroad on Saturday, 17 July, as we take to the streets to celebrate love and pride!
