Organizer Rodney Nickens said, “BIPOC Pride is more than a festival. It’s a movement of visibility, healing, and empowerment. Your support ensures we can provide resources, scholarships, and community programming for those who need it most.”

If you cannot attend, please consider making a cash or in-kind donation.

TTMOC also welcomes in-kind donations (non-perishable food, clothing, binders, shoes) and volunteer support. We’re especially seeking space donations (a building for a clinic/shelter in Newport News) and land or materials for a community garden.
