There are seats available in the accessibility bus that will lead the Q***r Liberation March this Sunday, June 27. Or, if you’d rather borrow a wheelchair, there are a few still available. Find the links to reserve either accommodation plus other accessibility features below.
The Reclaim Pride Accessibility team is working to ensure that all members of our community can participate in the 2021 Q***r Liberation March on June 27. We are offering wheelchairs and a Bus to ride in to our siblings who require an alternative to walking the entire march. We are also offering volunteers to help push anyone borrowing a wheelchair. You can also choose to have a friend push you or wheel yourself. No one is required to disclose their disability in order to reserve a wheelchair or seat on the bus.
To reserve a seat on the bus or wheelchair and/or to request volunteers, please visit

Wheelchairs are given on a first come, first serve basis. We cannot guarantee that any wheelchairs will be available that day if you do not have a reservation.
To join us on the Bus, please be ready to go between 2 and 2:15pm at 1075 Avenue of the Americas. Wheelchairs will be ready for pickup starting at 1:45pm at 1075 Avenue of the Americas. At 2pm, if the wheelchair is not claimed, we offer any remaining chairs to people who do not have reservations. If they are still not claimed, the chairs are then pushed by a volunteer to assist any people in the march who may need help for whatever reason. You will be able to spot currently unclaimed chairs because they will have signs saying "need a ride?". Alternatively chairs with signs reading "Occupied" are claimed chairs that someone needs, regardless of if it is being used at that moment.
