FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Francisco Pride stands in solidarity with Hilary Rivers—a Latinx drag performer and San Francisco resident—and the Latinx immigrant community following news of his arrest by ICE outside of San Francisco immigration court in the morning of Wednesday, June 25th.
San Francisco Pride vehemently rejects the continued attacks on immigrant communities by the federal administration, SCOTUS rulings, and the splintering of our communities by ICE on the basis of violations to due process and our city’s sanctuary policy. San Francisco is the vibrant city we know of today because of the contributions of immigrants — especially queer immigrants.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with Instituto Familiar de la Raza (IFR), queer Latinx leaders, and Hilary’s chosen family as we figure out how to support his immediate release from ICE detention.
We are calling on the community to write letters of solidarity to Hilary Rivers, so they know he has community support, and to sign up for updates through the Google form to stay tuned on this case and its development.
This country without immigrants is no country at all. San Francisco without queer immigrants and queer Latinos is no San Francisco at all.
The San Francisco Pride Celebration Committee is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded to produce the SF Pride Celebration and Parade. The mission of the organization is to educate the world on LGBTQ+ issues, as well as commemorate the heritage, celebrate the culture and liberate the people of all LGBTQ+ communities. A world leader in the Pride movement, SF Pride is also a grant-giving organization through its Community Partners Program. Since 1997, SF Pride has granted over $3 million dollars in proceeds to local non-profit LGBTQ+ organizations and organizations working on issues related to HIV/AIDS, cancer, homelessness, housing rights and animal welfare.
