15 years ago I had lost a vision for my life.
After a life-altering cancer journey, in 2010 I thought I likely didn’t have more than a few more years to live.
I set out on a new path to develop a nonprofit, first called getavision.org, now Rainbow Advocacy. Six years later, we created the Troy Perry Legacy Awards program and a short film program which is now the OUR PRIDE Shorts & Arts Fest.
Please join me in the launch of Voices of Solidarity with our WorldPride 2025 Partner Event: Voices of Solidarity Global Gatherings, along with the OUR PRIDE 2025 Shorts & Arts Fest. http://ourpride.org
As a WorldPride 2025 Partner Event, we are introducing Voices of Solidarity: “A global arts experience sharing stories of resilience & weaving our community together as threads in an expanding tapestry.”
Throughout the month of June, beginning with WorldPride, June 1-9, we are bringing together artists and advocates around the world in our first “Global Gatherings” events, with interactive networking features for community building.
The 2025 Global Gatherings is a FREE virtual event with the OUR PRIDE Shorts & Arts Festival. Participants will engage in an assortment of more than 50 online sessions, presentations, performances, panel discussions, exhibitions and community networking to inspire, educate, and galvanize meaningful impact for the global LGBTQIA+ community.
In partnership with the Charter for Compassion, the Gatherings serve as a platform for sharing missions, insights, and actionable ideas to foster a more compassionate and equitable world.
Our 8th annual OUR PRIDE Shorts & Arts Fest includes 170+ films from 25+ countries available throughout Pride Month on AppleTV, Roku, the web and eoFlix. All Access Pass is $15.
And we will be announcing our 2025 Troy Perry Legacy Awards + Community Impact Award honorees.
I’m grateful for having survived these 15 years and having the opportunity to connect with hundreds of artists and advocates around the world to develop and launch Voices of Solidarity.
Please join us in this FREE event and let me know your ideas on how to expand and improve on this new undertaking during these most stressful times for our global LGBTQIA+ community and world.
With love and gratitude,
John Boz
