MS Capital City Pride

Our mission is to provide safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community while advocating for their needs and intentionally creating opportunities to mentor emerging leaders in the Jackson Metro area.

The vision of Capital City Pride is to build a community of people with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations who are united, visible, and equal with all Mississippians.

Capital City Pride is made up by a 11 person Board. Its members represent all sexual orientations, socioeconomic backgrounds, race, and age.

Capital City Pride is recognized as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to organizations with 501(c)(3) status may be tax deductible.

The 2023 Rainbow Run is raising money for our new program Safe Spaces: a ten week support group for LGBTQ+ youth and their parents/caregivers. The group meets weekly with a licensed therapist.
