The Uniting Pride of Champaign County has sent out a few guidelines ahead of Pridefest, including behavioral expectations. While they are not expecting issues, any hateful language, imagery, or behavior based on race, gender, sexuality, or ability will not be tolerated at this event. This will be true of the CUJF and Hillel space as well! Our purpose at this event is to come together and show our Queer Pride as Jewish organizations, and to connect with our fellow queer community. Please keep this in mind as your prepare for the parade.
