About the Dyke March 

Volunteers:
The Atlanta Dyke March is a demonstration of the visibility, the political value, and the passion of dykes.  We are a grassroots, community-oriented group of dykes working as a part of the Atlanta Pride Festival.  We believe that dykes share a history of unique creativity, resistance, and power that contributes to the vitality of GLBTQI communities.  We are in solidarity with all dykes, recognizing the ways that sexism, homophobia, racism, xenophobia, classism, ableism, fatphobia, transphobia, and ageism block us from freedom to be our miraculous, glorious selves.

SECURITY

Please be advised that the Atlanta Police Department is responsible for enforcing all applicable state laws and local ordinances during Pride events. Such statutes may include, but are not limited to: public decency, alcohol, controlled substances, public safety and standard vehicle insurance requirements.
