This week, we explore the importance of small, community, local, and regional pride events and recognize the loss of Congressperson John Lewis.First up, Aleksa and Egan speak with Stacy Bass-Walden, one of the founders of Alki Beach Pride, about some safely-distanced events they have planned for 2020. Then, we speak with Michael Dale, the board president for Boise Pride, and talk about their plans for a 2020 virtual pride (with some in-person elements). Finally, we meet with community activist Allison Fine Taylor who has been helping to lead up an effort to produce Federal Way's first Pride event in 2020. Sadly, they will have to wait until 2021. Happily, they've built quite an organization and have already done much of the work to prepare for an in-person Pride next year.Stacy Bass-Walden with Alki Beach Pride (https://www.alkibeachpride.org) @ 8:30Michael Dale, Boise Pride (https://www.boisepridefest.org) @ 25:00Allison Fine Taylor, Federal Way Pride (https://www.fwlgbtq.org/pride) @ 43:00
