Pride events are kicking off in cities around the world.
Millions of people are getting ready to celebrate with peaceful marches
and huge parties.But Pride isn’t a party for everyone. In Sofia, Bulgaria - the country’s capital - Pride marchers are facing unprecedented violence.
The National Resistance, a neo-Nazi group known for committing hate crimes, successfully registered an official event at the same time and location as Sofia Pride, calling on participants to bring "brooms and shovels with long wooden handles" to "cleanse Sofia and Bulgaria from the garbage."
This is a clear call for violence against the LGBT community at Sofia Pride, due to happen this Saturday. But you can help stand up for the LGBT community in Bulgaria.
Sign the petition urging local authorities to keep Pride marchers safe.
