Resources


Pride Foundation was founded more than 30 years ago on the shoulders of generations of leaders who brought simple but revolutionary values to our movement: the courage to truly see one another, the compassion to recognize our shared humanity, and the conviction to show up every day to protect one another.

Silicon Valley Pride is a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community and our allies.

NAAAP Pride is a national program by The National Association of Asian American Professionals. It is here to empower, educate, engage, and celebrate the Asian American LGBTQ+ professional community and its allies by providing education, promoting visibility, and developing current and future LGBTQ+ leaders.

The LGBTQ Youth Space is a Program of Family & Children Services and Caminar.

We are a community drop-in center and mental health program for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and ally youth and young adults ages 13-25 who live in Santa Clara County.

Rainbow Chamber Silicon Valley

Established in 1999 to give exposure to the LGBT business community, the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce Silicon Valley is the largest not-for-profit corporation in greater Silicon Valley for LGBTQ+ businesses comprised of LGBTQ+ and LGBTQ+-supportive business owners and professionals.

Our commitment to building a BETTER BROADWAY SAN JOSE

Like much of the country, our team at Broadway San Jose, A Nederlander Presentation has been horrified in recent weeks by the unjust killing of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks, and so many others. We have no tolerance for racism, violence, and hatred, and we stand with the movement towards racial justice in America and around the globe. 

Broadway San Jose is stepping up to make a pledge to do our part to support the movement, but we first must own several truths. Going forward we intend to use our platform to raise voices that have been suppressed, to work towards a more equal future, and to push our industry forward. We acknowledge that we are still learning, but must take a stand now toward a greater good. Broadway can and must do better. 

Last week, our team participated in the #BwayforBLM forum hosted by the Broadway Advocacy Coalition, which inspired and motivated us as never before to hold ourselves and our industry accountable not only for aspiring to true equality, but for amplifying and lauding BIPOC voices onstage and behind the scenes. 

You can learn more at the Broadway Advocacy Coalition’s antiracism resources.

This is only the beginning. We plan to continuously reevaluate and improve as we work to listen and grow, but we hope these first steps will lead to lasting change at Broadway San Jose and beyond.

We look forward to seeing you again at the Center for the Performing Arts.

We’d like to use this space to spotlight black artists and activists, and we encourage you to explore what they have to say about our world and their experiences in it.  Below is a selection of resources to allow you to read, listen, watch and support with open hearts and minds.
