Accessibility at the Demo

We are trying to make this protest as accessible as possible. The Hermannplatz U-Bahn and Kottbusser Tor U-Bahn stations both have elevators. The U-Bahn station at Moritzplatz does not have an elevator.

There is a medic team at the demo, and a support vehicle at the back of the march for anyone who needs a rest or is not able to walk for the whole march.

We are still searching for a DGS interpreter (paid) to translate the speeches at the demo. If you can recommend someone please send us an email to iqpb@riseup.net. Likewise if you have any specific access needs or questions about accessibility, please email us and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Covid-19 guidelines

Covid-19 is a social justice issue that overwhelmingly touches queer people, especially from communities of color, migrant communities, working-class communities, communities fighting against colonialism and war, the elderly and people with pre-existing health conditions and other vulnerabilities.

Our pride march is attended by many that are suffering from these vulnerabilities. So we will be walking in solidarity and care towards each other. By joining our pride march, you agree to:
** Wear a mask that fully covers your nose and mouth.
** Keep the mask on *the whole time* while in the demo.
** Keep a distance of 1.5 meters at least from other people, including your friends and comrades.
** Use hand-sanitizer before and after touching things that can be touched by other people.

Our Ordner*nnen and members of our organizing team, who will be wearing distinctive vests, will do their best to enforce the rules above. We also encourage you to help us by gently reminding others around you to follow the guidelines in case they are not. The Ordner*innen and the oragnizing team will also carry some extra masks and hand-sanitizer: please ask them for these if you need them.

If you want to smoke, drink, breathe more freely or speak on the phone without a mask on, we kindly ask you to do this on the sidelines, even better outside of the demo. In any case, we ask you to keep a greater distance from other participants and turn away from them.

Solidarity and mutual care is our biggest strength. Let’s keep each other safe!
