🕐After the Parade!

** HERE’s our statment regarding the participationof zionist groups at this year’s Montreal Pride parade.

NO pride in genocide.


MQS opposes the presence of Zionist groups in the 2024 Pride Parade and deplores Pride’s continued association with groups supporting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

After surveying our members, we have decided to maintain our participation in the Parade: we will not let Zionists exclude us from our spaces.

We support those who do not wish to take part in the Parade because of the Zionist presence, and we invite those joining our contingent to show their support for Palestine and their opposition to the ongoing genocide with placards and flags.
