Power, Protection and Pride

Power, Protection and Pride is the headline panel discussion of Philly Pride 365’s 2026 Round Table series — gathering activists, artists, organizers, and community leaders inside Loews Hotel Philadelphia (1200 Market Street) to examine Pride as civic infrastructure.

The conversation explores how LGBTQ+ visibility evolves into tangible protections, policy conversations, and collective responsibility during Philadelphia’s historic 250th anniversary era. Topics include legal protections in the post-2024 federal landscape, mutual aid networks, queer organizing strategy, and the responsibility of Pride itself as both celebration and protest.

Loews Hotel Philadelphia is a longtime ally and sponsor of Philly Pride 365 events. Free and open to the public — RSVP recommended but not required.
