On Sunday, the RAC made its first ever march in the DC Capital Pride Parade! We carried posters with messages of support, handed out RAC stickers, and did an excellent job representing the Reform Movement's outspoken stance in favor of LGBT rights. Many parade attendees were excited (and many were surprised!) to see religious organizations marching in the parade, and we got a lot of love from the crowd because of it.
Take a look below to see some pictures from the festivities!
