Help Bring Back the Historic SF Dyke March!

The San Francisco Dyke March is officially back! With the continuing, overwhelming support of dyke communities across the greater Bay Area, over 200 dykes have joined our conversations and volunteer committees —we’re ready to make history, again. A newly formed team is reviving the San Francisco Dyke March in 2025 and rebuilding our organizational structure to ensure its long-term success.
(The SF Dyke March is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives.)

WE NEED YOUR HELP

Our goal is to raise $100,000 for the SF Dyke March.

The “full” SF Dyke March that we all know and love costs of money and requires a lot of effort.  We do not take sponsorships from large corporations.  We do not let politicians buy their way onto our stage.  We do not get paid to pink wash our slogans.  And we are not a parade.  We are Dyke MARCH!  We rally at the park to elevate our voices (this part costs a lot) ... And we march on the streets to protest the issues we care about (this takes a lot of people!)  Help us raise the funds so we can raze the patriarchy!

All donations will go directly to making the Dyke March happen this year

Your contributions will help fund essential elements of our beloved gathering, such as:

A stage and sound system with entertainment in Dolores Park ADA-accessibility like interpreters and trolleys  Porta potties, park clean up, trash pick up (yeah, we pay for all that) EMS/Ambulance service (these professionals keep us safe!) City permits, signage, walkie talkies rentals…   and much more
