context_page_description: Reclaim Pride Coalition is a coalition of LGBT+ groups and individuals who gather in New York City to create the Queer Liberation March in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall riots. The following year, in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, the Coalition organized the Queer Liberation March for Black Lives & Against Police Brutality.
context_section_description: The Reclaim Pride Coalition was created to gather members of the extended LGBT+ community, especially those most at its fringes such as gender nonconforming, queer youth of color, drag queens, sex workers, and radical lesbians, who seek to march in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall riots that effectively started the gay rights movement in the United States in 1969. It planned the Queer Liberation March in New York City on June 30, 2019, from the Stonewall Inn, up Sixth Avenue, to Central Park for a rally on the Great Lawn.
  The main concern of this organization is the protest against a perceived lack of activism increasingly present in the corporate-sponsored floats and police-lined streets in the general celebratory parade that is an annual tradition coordinated by Heritage of Pride. The Reclaim Pride Coalition believes that removing corporate sponsors and a police presence will better connect the march itself to the people,  especially those who are believed to be excluded by the heavily sponsored, and much larger, World Pride parade. 
  The result was a second, activist-oriented pride march on the same day to mark the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall.
  The parade encouraged anyone to march without prior registration.
