Walking With Pride

Damian McShane will Walk With Pride next Saturday, August 29, in Newry.

So folks, given that around this time of year, (Thursday to be precise), Pride launch usually happens. Unfortunately the official Pride parade has been cancelled this year.

However, rather than just let the occasion pass without marking the event that I and others have worked so tirelessly to build up. I am going to mark the occasion by walking the Pride in Newry parade route, together with my Pride flag, on the pavement, on Saturday 29th of August this year, at 12 noon. Observing social distancing.

For anyone wishing to join me, you will be welcomed but please observe the etiquette re distancing, masks etc. Oh and if you want to dress up etc then do so.

There will be no music, speeches or gathering. It will be a simple walk of the Pride in Newry route.

Pride has always been a protest, celebration, remembrance and this year will be no different in that regard. I will be on the pavement and in compliance with the advice given re health and safety.

So Saturday 29th August 12 noon personal pride in Newry walk.

More to follow as it draws near the time.
