| WEGP will be hosting its 10th annual Grosse Pointe Pride celebration on Saturday, June 20th from 10AM-12:30PM. Participants are encouraged to bring friends, neighbors, as well as leashed and friendly pups along for this family-friendly event. We will begin with a celebratory march from the Farms to the main event location at the corner of Kercheval and Cadieux (near Maire Elementary) in the Village of Grosse Pointe. Festivities will also include family-friendly Drag Performances, activities for children, guest speakers, activism opportunities, and so much more! Bring your signs, your joy, your pride, and your commitment to full equality. |

Since our inception in Fall of 2016, and the creation of our formal board structure in June 2017, WEGP has created a community of individuals over 1,500 strong who share our vision and believe in our Guiding Principles. WEGP is proud to announce that effective June 13, 2020 it is now tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (prior to that date it was not exempt). Donors may now make donations to WEGP and deduct these from their taxes to the extent allowed by law. We encourage members of the community served by WEGP to make donations so we can better serve you. In connection with our new tax exempt status, going forward, WEGP will comply with IRS rules that apply to 501(c)(3) organizations, including the prohibition on directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for elective public office.
Community members with Black Lives Matter signs have recently been targeted with anonymous letters. We won’t be intimidated. We will keep saying and showing that here in our community Black Lives Matter! Need one for your yard to help spread the message? Please use this Google form to request a sign and feel free to share. We are offering the signs for free and deliver locally. We do accept totally optional donations to help cover the costs of the signs. We also accept Venmo: @We-GP (please put BLM in note with any donation). And while you're here, why not stay in touch with us? Subscribe to our newsletter here. | Some of WEGP's Accomplishments
