"We're going to have a lot of celebration during the march, to partake in radical joy, finding joy in times of difficulty, and that helps lead to resilience. And we, the whole LGBTQIA community, is known for their resilience," said Jo Mama, who organized the march.

The marchers want the Chicago Police Department budget cut with the additional money going into social programs.
