Join BFP and Move the Money/NYC in the St. Pat’s for All Parade in Queens. We’ll hand out flyers in English and Spanish urging New Yorkers to call Congress to cut the Pentagon budget and restore funding for the things people need, especially here in New York City.
(There will also be a contingent of nyirishr4palestine.)

The parade began more than 25 years ago as a response to the exclusion of Irish LGBTQ communities from the parade along 5^th Avenue in Manhattan, and continues to be a celebration of inclusive and progressive values.  While it is a celebration of Irish culture in the USA, Queens residents from Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, and even Ireland turn out for the parade and applaud our message. The parade’s motto, “cherishing all the children of the nation equally,” has a particular poignancy this year.

12:00 noon: Music and remarks (2025 grand marshals are singer-songwriter Judy Collins and Micky Murray, Lord Mayor of Belfast)
