Beloved local Black queer org ATXBlackPride says goodbye in Insta post.
said in praise of the org, “to their near-monthly events, ABP doesn’t just throw a damn good party ; they also host art shows, brunches, book groups, and panel discussions on living at the intersection of black and queer to better showcase and support Austin’s thriving black LGBTQ community.
The dissolution comes as the result of a former ABP board member’s misappropriation of funds that “did not align with our mission, morals and ethics to serve the community.” As a result, ABP said they’re unable to fund their yearly Pride festivities or community events. While acknowledging that this step is regrettable, the organization stated they truly appreciate the deep loyalty inspired in their community.
