Augusta Pride | 26-27 June 2026 The committee for LGBTQA Pride in Augusta, GA and the surrounding CSRA

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the loved ones of Randy Savi, husband of board member Nick Savi, who passed away last week. Randy was a former committee member as he and Nick were avid supporters of the pride movement. They were together for 54 years, married since 2015. A painter in his spare time and arts enthusiast, Randy often helped at past Augusta Pride festivals at the volunteer tent or gate ticket entrance until health issues prevented further efforts. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and pride family. A memorial service will be held at MCC on February 22, at 2 pm. We honor his memory and thank him for his community service.

Join us February 9th with Nico Lang for a reading and Q&A of American Teenager at the Book Tavern.

On this World AIDS Day, we believe it's still an important date to take note of. and consult with health professionals on treatment options or education to prevent HIV and AIDS.

“Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.”
– Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith

It's important to keep our community's history alive when attempts are being made to remove it

Today we celebrate the birth of Marsha P. Johnson and honor her legacy!

Marsha P. Johnson was a Black transgender woman and activist and was a central figure in the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, which ignited the LGBTQ rights movement. Born in 1945 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Johnson moved to New York City’s Greenwich Village at age 17, where she found community among other LGBTQ individuals. Known for her vibrant personality, distinctive flower crowns, and colorful sense of style, Johnson became a beloved figure within the LGBTQ community and an enduring symbol of resistance against injustice.

Along with Sylvia Rivera, a Latina transgender activist, Johnson co-founded the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) in 1970, an organization dedicated to providing housing and support for homeless LGBTQ youth. STAR became one of the first LGBTQ organizations in the U.S. to focus specifically on transgender issues. It pioneered a legacy of advocacy for transgender and gender-nonconforming people who were often overlooked by mainstream gay rights organizations.

On Thursday, the National Su***de Hotline will close for LGBTQ youth. We are disappointed in the decision and that the change seems unnecessary, as it costs nothing to have that subset of callers. Moreover countless studies have shown that subgroups - men v women, old v young, straight v gay - have different needs in su***de therapy and it's a shame that such is not fully appreciated by this decision. 2 out of 5 LGBTQ youths have thought about su***de, while 1 out of 10 have attempted it (https://www.newportacademy.com/resources/mental-health/lgbt-su***de-rates/). Rumors that Canada now offers a number for Americans is unfortunately false, but there is a trans hotline to offer support for both Canadians and Americans: 1-877-330-6366, it connects to Trans Lifeline, a nonprofit, peer-led support line that has served both American and Canadian transgender people since 2014. Luckily, The Trevor Project will continue to offer its own independent services at https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ or their number at 1-866-488-7386
