Chicago Dyke March Collective is a grassroots mobilization and celebration of dyke, queer, bisexual, and transgender resilience. It is an anti-racist, anti-violent, volunteer-led, grassroots effort with a goal to bridge together communities across race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, age, size, gender identity, gender expression, sexuality, culture, immigrant status, spirituality, and ability.
**********************************************************
“We move to create visibility,
to honor our histories and identities,
to disrupt oppression and dominance,
to challenge silence and fear,
because we are everywhere,
because we must survive”
*********************************************************
Will the route be accessible?
- Yes, the route will be approximately one mile long and all the sidewalks have an incline and decline. We are conscious of trying to make the March and rally as accessible and anti-oppressive as possible for all the diverse Dyke community members.
By CTA: You can take the Red Line and exit at eL stops Lawrence or Argyle. You can also take buses #36 Broadway and #151 Sheridan.
By Car: There are a few inexpensive paid parking lots as well as paid street meter parking available.
**********************************************************
We need volunteers!!!
If you’re interested in any kind of volunteering, please email us at dykemarchchicago@gmail.com and let us know!
- SAFETY MARSHALL volunteers are needed to be trained prior to the March and then to help during the March! They mostly our the “eyes and ears” as we march the route. Safety Marshall trainings will happen a few times in June.
- VOLUNTEERS TO HELP SET-UP AND TAKE DOWN the rally!
