March and Rally in Harrisburg on Oct 26

The Pennsylvania Coalition of LGBTQ+ organizations will be holding a March and Rally at the Capitol in Harrisburg on Sunday, October 26, 2025. We are calling on the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies to join us at the Capitol steps at 1 PM for a march immediately followed by a rally for the following four points:

• LGBTQ+ Rights are Human Rights
• Healthcare is a Human Right
• Healthcare Needs to be Fully Funded
• LGBTQ+ Rights must be Affirmed In the Law

Now more than ever, our healthcare is at risk. Most hospitals that once provided gender-affirming services for people 19 years old and younger have stopped offering such care. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has cut funding for HIV preventive medications and rolled back vaccine prevention options for other illnesses.

Marriage equality is at risk with upcoming Supreme Court cases. Because of the Mahmoud v. Taylor case from the US Supreme Court, public schools are at risk of pulling LGBTQIA+ books from school libraries. Our rights and existence are on the line, and we want to send a clear message to government officials at the local, state, and national levels that we are one unified community.
