SAG-AFTRA Shows Strength in Its Pride S AG-AFTRA members across the country showed up and showed off during Pride Month in June. SAG-AFTRA L.A. Local and National LGBTQ Committee members kicked off the month with L.A. Pride 2023 on June 11, joining over 100 parade groups and thousands of others marching down Sunset Boulevard. Later in the month, on June 25, the SAG-AFTRA New York and Chicago locals joined the celebration at their respective marches and music festivities. Onlookers in the Big Apple saw SAG-AFTRA members make their way down 25th Street and 5th Avenue in a candy-apple red Mustang and, in Chicago, members commemorated the city's 52nd annual parade alongside the Chicago Federation of Labor and the Metropolitan United Way. For over 50 years, Pride Month has been a time for members of the LGBTQ+ community, including SAG-AFTRA members and allies, to celebrate their history and the principles of equality and diversity.
