ROCHESTER — CSEA Monroe County Local and Western Region activists marched in solidarity with our labor brothers and sisters at the Rochester Pride Parade.
Official Rochester Pride organizers reported more than 110 units, including CSEA and numerous other unions and labor organizations, participated in the walk while thousands of marchers and parade onlookers took to the streets to spread the message of solidarity, love, inclusion, non-violence, peace and community pride. CSEA is a parade sponsor.
After the parade, community members gathered at Cobbs Hill Park for the annual festival. CSEA sponsored a vendor table while sharing our union resources and other important information.
“Once again, Rochester Pride events are a great opportunity
to share labor’s message,” CSEA Monroe County Local President Bess Watts said. “The exceptionally warm reception we received as we walked down the avenue gave me chills down my spine.”
