Project Reach Pride Group

On June 24, 2018, over 30 staff and community members from CPC took part in the New York City Pride March.  In a diverse contingent of over 30 young people, Project Reach presented the wide range of "genders" that make up the transgender and gender non-conforming community. Within a culture which promotes rigid gender-role conformity, its people are forced to assume roles that not only limit who people can be but also forces them to perpetuate sexism, misogyny, homophobia and transphobia.  

In a diverse contingent of over 30 young people, CPC Project Reach presented the wide range of "genders" that make up the transgender and gender non-conforming community. Terms and definitions that might be difficult to grasp at first, Project Reach's float led off with the lead slogan "THE GENDERS ARE COMING!  THE GENDERS ARE COMING!"
