United Out Loud

Jersey Pride presents UNITED OUT LOUD, a high energy civic cabaret mobilizing LGBTQ+ New Jerseyans to confront misinformation, engage this election cycle, and rise together through rapid fire teach ins, performances, and a concert built for this moment. Blending civic education with art, activism, and community celebration, the event is designed to energize voters, strengthen solidarity, and spotlight the urgent issues shaping LGBTQ+ futures.

Fast paced teach ins will break down what’s at stake for LGBTQ+ New Jerseyans — including the policies influencing rights, safety, and well being. Between sessions, comedians and musicians keep the momentum fierce, culminating in a concert featuring BETTY, Lori Michaels, Josh Zuckerman, and Jess Alaimo. Keynote speakers include Erin Reed of Erin in the Morning, James Dale, and Phil McCabe. Civic cabaret presenters and performers include: Deputy Mayor Amy Quinn, Assemblywoman Luanne Peterpaul, Kathy Ahearn-O’Brien, Axel Torres Marrero, Gary Paul Wright, Susan Keiser, SONiA of disappear fear, Jon & Michael Gallucio, Harmonica Sunbeam, and Flynn Faye.

Throughout the day, attendees will connect with advocacy and community organizations ready to help turn inspiration into action.
