EVENT DETAILS FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE MARCH WITH RECAMFT

• Sunday, June 21, 2026
• Event goes from 11 am to 2 pm. 
• Lineup for the March starts at 10 am. Those marching with RECAMFT must be in line by 10:30 am.
• Please bring sunscreen, a hat, and water (and snacks, if you do not plan on purchasing from the vendors).
• The route is wheelchair and walker-friendly, as it is all on the sidewalk! The Dyke March ends at the Old Courthouse Square, which is flat, mostly concrete, and there will be plenty of room for wheelchairs and walkers.
• We will have stickers to identify our members, so please register early for this event so we know how many to expect.
• We also need RECAMFT members to staff the booth where we will be displaying Pride flags, giving away sensory stickers, stress balls, and candy, running a game, and providing informational cards. We will also be giving away prizes as a way for attendees to engage with us.

Let's show our LGBTQ+ community that we, the mental health healers of Sonoma County and beyond, see and support them!

The Dyke March starts at the Santa Rosa City Hall parking lot. Then we march to the Lez-a-Palooza Street Fair on the Old Courthouse Square. Approximately 0.6 miles.​​​

From the event organizers:

Sonoma County DYKE MARCH is an inclusive, grassroots, intergenerational movement bringing together Lesbian, Queer, Transgender, Non-Binary, Sapphic people, the full LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum, and our allies to resist attacks on our rights, bodies, and lives.​

We honor the legacy of the Lesbians and Queer women who have been the backbone of social justice movements. We uplift Elder Lesbians, reclaim the word Dyke as a symbol of pride and defiance, and bestow this legacy on the next generation.

We organize amid immense and escalating backlash against trans lives, queer rights, reproductive freedom, marriage equality, racial justice, immigrant communities, and democracy itself. Too many have sacrificed too much for us to stand by while our rights erode.

Silence is not an option.

We march for visibility, dignity, and justice.
 
We say: Not here. Not now. Not ever.

The DYKE MARCH march is a short walk to Old Courthouse Square where Lez-A-Palooza events await. All events and booths will be interactive. We are creating a place where strangers become teammates, where art is created together, where we all rediscover play, and share laughter, joy, and connection. We hope that with spontaneous encounters, we can transform the square into a living village.

Redwood Empire Chapter CAMFT  (Provider #57173) is approved by the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists to sponsor continuing education for LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and/or LEPs. This event is not a continuing education event, but rather a chance for RECAMFT members to support the LGBTQ+ community. Please undertake attending this event at your own risk. Be sure to plan for water, sun, food, and comfortable shoes to walk several blocks, etc.
