Community First Initiative
Jersey Gay Pride's Community First Initiative (CFI) mission is to supports community members with free and confidential housing, emotional, financial, legal, and medical help, or referral, locally.
Take Mr. Ashley Moore, Sr., the father of homicide victim, Ashley Moore, Jr. Ashley Jr. was a 26-year-old Black trans woman found dead outside the YMCA in Newark, NJ on April 1, 2020. Mr. Moore used our Help Hotline for emotional support and asked us to use our platform to not just help find Ashley Jr’s murderer, but to spread more awareness about the murders of our trans family.
Since Jersey Gay Pride is a volunteer run organization, your generous donation allows us to continue aid our local community members like Mr. Moore. Unfortunately, Mr. Moore was not the first, and will not be the last to contact us for help. Therefore, we heavily rely upon kind people such as yourself to continue the work that we do.
Jersey Gay Pride Annual Festival
For 17 successful years, the Pride Committee has taken this opportunity to educate our community on prominent issues. This festival is the only and largest FREE LGBTQA+ event in South Jersey, featuring adult and youth entertainment, live performances, and dancing.
Thousands of South Jersey and the Greater Philadelphia LGBTQA+ communities and allies to come together on this day to celebrate its pride!
Royal Court
The Royal Court is a volunteer-run program that was established to raise money for worthy charities focusing on LGBTQ+ issues. The Royal Court is comprised of entertainers such as drag kings/queens, comedians, radio personalities, singers, rappers, dancers, and more.
Royal Court members are also role models to the LGBTQ+ community at large, especially our youth.
We provide a safe and fun environment for entertainers to express themselves through dressing and performing as self-defined royalty.
Our Royal Court is now open for application. Anyone who is interested in becoming a member should email with subject line "Royal Court" and our coordinator will contact you with further instruction. We are looking for persons who are community oriented, volunteering, hard-working and dedicated.
